I always used to wonder that though in a restaurant the paneer butter masala n shahi paneer almost look alike ...then why two names have been kept for these dishes ..Actually the original shahi paneer has lost its originality ..it used to b white in colour ..prepared only on onion cashew gravy without the addition of tomatoes ..
Now here I hv made paneer butter masala using #NoOnions only tomatoes cashews n butter along wth garlic ginger paste ..
