Hello my dear friends,
how are you all doing? Today I will show you a simple and basic Paneer Masala This would be Dhabha style It is so easy to make this at home Even if you are a bachelor you can make it easily So let's get started In order to make Perfect
Dhabha style Paneer Masala Take

1 table spoon basan in a pan Cook it on low/medium heat for 1-2 mins This

would give the gravy the rich texture This is the secret ingredient that is used in all dhabas and restaurants Roast it in this way Switch off the gas flame after 2 mins

Transfer this onto a plate I have used 250 gms paneer here I have cut it into small cubes like this Medium sized cubes We will marinate this Put some salt
1/2 spoon red chilly powder
1/4 tea spoon turmeric/haldi powder

Mix these well with your hands So that it gets coated with the masalas This is optional however,
you can use raw paneer as well It gives a nice taste to the paneer gravy in this way Leave it aside for 5-10 mins

Take 1 tablespoon ghee in a pan You can use oil or butter as well It gives a nice flavour to the gravy Fry the paneer cubes inside this Keep them one after another Fry them in this way for 3-4 mins

Or unless it does not turn golden brown They should be fried and maslas should be coated on them Paneer is leaving some water here

since I had kept them in fridge Keep flipping them on all sides Do not make them very dark Else your paneer will turn hard and chewy Do this entire procedure in medium flame
