Best Paneer Butter Masala in Saskatoon | Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant

About Our Paneer Butter Masala

Our Paneer Butter Masala is the mirror of our world-famous Taj Butter Chicken — and equally beloved by Saskatoon's vegetarian community. Fresh, soft paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes are pan-fried until golden, then gently folded into a slow-simmered sauce of ripe tomatoes, butter, cream, cashew paste, and a warming blend of hand-picked North Indian spices including cardamom, cinnamon, and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). The kasuri methi in particular gives the sauce its characteristic depth and slight bitterness that balances the richness of the cream and butter.

The result is a mild, rich, deeply satisfying curry that is as comforting as it is flavourful. Paneer Butter Masala is 100% vegetarian, gluten-free, and one of the most popular choices for guests who prefer plant-based proteins without compromising on flavour. It pairs perfectly with our freshly baked Garlic Naan or Jeera Rice. A highlight for vegetarian diners at both Taj Mahal Saskatoon locations — order online, for takeout, or enjoy it fresh in our dining room.
