A Royal Vegetarian Classic, Reimagined in Panama
Few dishes capture India’s culinary soul like Paneer Butter Masala. At Mystic India Panama, this North Indian favorite transforms simple ingredients—cottage cheese, tomatoes, and butter—into a masterpiece of flavor.
Creamy, fragrant, and comforting, it’s a dish that bridges tradition and indulgence. Each bite delivers the warmth of home cooking and the sophistication of fine dining, perfectly aligned with Mystic India’s passion for authenticity.
The Story Behind Paneer Butter Masala
Born in the kitchens of Delhi, Paneer Butter Masala (or Butter Paneer Masala) was created as a luxurious version of humble tomato curry. Soft cubes of paneer were cooked in a butter-rich sauce infused with mild spices and fresh cream.
At Mystic India Panama, our chefs preserve this heritage while adding a touch of modern finesse. The result? A dish that feels comforting yet elegant—the perfect balance of spice, cream, and culture.
What Makes Mystic India’s Paneer Butter Masala Special
1) Freshly Made Paneer
Our paneer is made in-house for maximum freshness. The soft, delicate texture absorbs the creamy gravy beautifully, giving every bite richness without heaviness. Freshness defines the flavor, texture, and authenticity of this vegetarian favorite.
2) Silky, Slow-Cooked Gravy
The tomato-based sauce is simmered with ginger, garlic, and a secret blend of spices. Butter and cream melt into the gravy, creating a velvety finish that pairs perfectly with rice or naan. Each layer of spice is balanced to highlight, not overpower, the natural sweetness of tomatoes.
3) Authentic Spices, Global Appeal
We use only the best Indian spices—kasuri methi, cumin, garam masala, and coriander—chosen for their aroma and depth. While the flavors remain true to India, the dish appeals to every palate, offering mild spice and creamy comfort that diners of all backgrounds love.
A Symphony of Flavor and Texture
From the first spoonful, the buttery aroma and creamy texture set the tone for indulgence. The tang of ripe tomatoes meets the richness of ghee and cream, while tender paneer cubes provide the perfect bite.
Whether enjoyed with butter naan, jeera rice, or garlic kulcha, Paneer Butter Masala always satisfies. For a lighter twist, pair it with quinoa or plain basmati rice to let the sauce shine.
Comfort Food with a Cultural Heart
In India, Paneer Butter Masala often marks special occasions—family dinners, weddings, or festive celebrations. It represents the warmth of Indian hospitality, where sharing food means sharing joy.
At Mystic India Panama, we celebrate that same spirit. Our chefs prepare every portion with care, ensuring that each plate carries the comfort of tradition and the artistry of modern presentation.
This is not just a curry; it’s an emotion—creamy, nostalgic, and utterly satisfying.
Health and Happiness in Every Bite
While indulgent in flavor, Paneer Butter Masala also offers balanced nutrition. Paneer provides protein and calcium, while tomatoes bring antioxidants and vitamins. Combined with freshly ground spices, it becomes both satisfying and wholesome.
At Mystic India, every dish strikes this harmony—flavor that comforts and ingredients that nourish.
