About Paneer Butter Masala
Paneer butter masala is cubes of paneer cooked in a rich sauce of tomato, butter, cream and cashews. It is the vegetarian answer to butter chicken.
Regional versions
Shahi paneer is a creamier, nuttier version, and paneer makhani is another name for the same dish. Some kitchens make it sweeter, others add more chili.
What to order with it
Garlic naan or butter naan is the classic partner. Add jeera rice and a dal if you are sharing.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
