The vegetarian answer to butter chicken: cubes of soft paneer in a rich, lightly sweet tomato-butter gravy over basmati, with a fresh kachumber salad. Comfort food that doesn't ask you to compromise.
Paneer butter masala is what we'd serve a vegetarian guest who thinks vegetarian curry means missing out. The gravy is the same idea as butter chicken — tomato, butter, gentle spice — built to wrap around tender paneer instead of meat.
What's in the bowl
Paneer in a rich tomato-butter gravy, fresh basmati rice, and a kachumber salad for crunch and balance. The salad matters: it keeps a rich bowl from feeling heavy halfway through.
How it's made
We cook the gravy down so it's smooth and a little glossy, then fold in the paneer so it stays soft. It's finished the same morning it's served — nothing held overnight.
Good to know
- Is it spicy?
- It's on the milder, richer end of the menu. Ask for mild or spicy and we'll adjust the heat to your taste.
- Can I get it vegan?
- Paneer and butter are both dairy, so this bowl isn't vegan as made. Ask about the day's vegan-friendly curries if you need dairy-free.
- Does it come with bread?
- It comes with rice and salad. You can add butter naan, roti, or aloo paratha at checkout if you want bread to scoop with.
- Is it filling?
- Yes — paneer is hearty and the rice rounds it out into a full lunch.
