Best Paneer Butter Masala in Calgary, Alberta

About Our Paneer Butter Masala

Paneer Butter Masala is the vegetarian counterpart to Butter Chicken, and it's just as beloved at Green Chili. We use fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that has a firm yet creamy texture, cutting it into generous cubes. The sauce is where the magic happens - we create a velvety blend of tomatoes, butter, cream, and ground cashews, seasoned with aromatic spices including kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) which gives the dish its characteristic flavor. Unlike many versions that can be overly sweet, ours maintains a perfect balance between the richness of the dairy, the acidity of tomatoes, and the warmth of spices. The paneer cubes are added to the sauce just before serving, ensuring they remain soft and absorb the flavors without becoming rubbery. This dish has become a go-to for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
