Why paneer butter masala calorie numbers differ
Paneer butter masala is paneer cubes in a smooth, mildly sweet tomato and onion gravy enriched with butter and cream. Butter, cream and sugar build the gravy, so a restaurant version swimming in butter holds far more than a home version made with a spoon of butter. The number of paneer cubes and the depth of gravy change it too.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 20% of the calories in 1 medium katori of paneer butter masala.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 157 g per medium katori. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
