Eastern Paneer Butter Masala 40g

Price Guide (February 2026)

The 40g pack is one of the most affordable options in the market, often used as a “trial” or single-use pack.

Key Highlights

• The “Butter Masala” Profile: Unlike a standard paneer masala, this blend contains a higher amount of cashew nut powder base (simulated through spices), Kasuri Methi (dried fenugreek), and sugar/honey notes to give it that signature smooth, buttery taste.

• Low Heat: This is one of Eastern’s mildest blends. It focuses on creamy aromatics like cardamom and mace rather than the sharp heat of black pepper or red chili.

• Flavour Lock: Eastern’s signature processing ensures that even in this small 40g pouch, the scent of the spices stays fresh until the moment you open it.

The “Express” Recipe (For 200g Paneer)

1. Preparation: Mix the entire 40g Eastern Paneer Butter Masala with ½ cup of milk or water to form a smooth paste.

2. Sauté: In a pan, heat butter and sauté some ginger-garlic paste and tomato puree until the oil/butter separates.

3. The Mix: Add the masala paste and cook for 2–3 minutes.

4. The Finish: Add 200g of paneer cubes and a splash of cream. Simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish with a dollop of butter and fresh coriander.

Pro-Tip: If you find the gravy too spicy, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk instead of water to maintain the richness.
