SMITH & JONES Mutter paneer masala mix 20g

Bring the authentic taste of a North Indian Dhaba straight to your dining table with the Smith & Jones Mutter Paneer Masala Mix (20g). Mutter Paneer is a timeless classic—a harmonious blend of tender green peas and soft paneer cubes in a rich, spiced tomato-based gravy. However, getting that complex balance of spices right can take hours of slow cooking.

With the Smith & Jones “Very Very Tasty” formula, you can skip the grinding and measuring. This 20g sachet is a masterfully curated blend that ensures your gravy has the perfect color, the right thickness, and that irresistible aroma that usually only comes from professional chefs.

Why Choose Smith & Jones Mutter Paneer Mix?

1. The Perfect Spice Balance

Smith & Jones understands that a great Mutter Paneer shouldn’t just be “hot”—it needs to be flavorful. This mix combines the earthiness of coriander and cumin with the warmth of cinnamon and cloves, finished with a hint of dried fenugreek (Kasuri Methi) for that signature restaurant-style finish.

2. Consistency in Every Spoonful

One of the biggest challenges in home cooking is consistency. Sometimes the gravy is too watery; sometimes it’s too spicy. This 20g pack is scientifically calibrated to provide the exact same high-quality taste every time you cook, ensuring your family dinner is always a hit.

3. All-in-One Convenience

You don’t need to be an expert at “Bhuna” (slow roasting spices). This mix contains everything you need to create a lush, velvety gravy. Just add your fresh ingredients—paneer, peas, onions, and tomatoes—and let the masala do the heavy lifting.

How to Cook Restaurant-Style Mutter Paneer in 15 Minutes

1. Sauté: Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Sauté 1 finely chopped onion until golden brown, followed by 1 cup of fresh tomato puree. Cook until the oil separates.

2. The Mix: Dissolve the 20g Smith & Jones Mutter Paneer Masala in 1 cup ($150$ml) of water or milk (use milk for a richer, creamier “Shahi” style gravy).

3. Simmer: Add $200$g of Paneer cubes and $1/2$ cup of boiled green peas to the pan. Pour in the masala mixture.

4. Finish: Cover and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens. Garnish with fresh coriander and a dollop of butter or cream.

Versatile Culinary Uses

While it’s perfected for Mutter Paneer, this masala is a versatile “Magic Mix”:

• Aloo Mutter: Swap the paneer for boiled potato cubes for a delicious everyday meal.

• Mushroom Mutter: Use the same gravy base for a sophisticated mushroom and pea curry.

• Mixed Veg Curry: Toss in carrots, beans, and cauliflower for a healthy, spiced vegetable feast.

Storage & Professional Tips

• Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use the entire contents immediately to ensure the volatile oils of the spices provide maximum aroma.

• The “Paneer” Secret: For the softest paneer, soak your cubes in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the gravy.

• Richness Hack: For a premium “Party Style” gravy, add a tablespoon of cashew paste or heavy cream at the very end.
