Jain Paneer Makhani is a delicious, rich and creamy Indian curry prepared without using any onion and garlic. And you will be surprised to know that this Jain Paneer Makhani can be prepared in 30 minutes. It has a smooth and luscious gravy that is perfect to relish with chapati or naan. The bright colour of the gravy comes from the red bell pepper and the tomato puree. The magic ingredient in the no onion and garlic Paneer Makhani is the red bell pepper. Who could have thought that a bell pepper based sauce would taste so good in an Indian curry?

I love butter chicken and paneer makhani, but I have never tried to cook it from scratch at home yet. I did buy a packaged mix masala to make them, but they didn’t come out right. I think I should try your version.
