Panneer butter masala! (hotel recipe)

Who wouldnt like panneer butter masala!! Its one of the dish which i would order when i go to hotel along with my dad and sisters during my childhood days!! Never tried such versions at home..
Yes, It tasted exactly like the way in restaurants! was very glad that i tried and of course, got appreciations too! For weight conscious folks,its a kind of a rich and heavy side dish for roti, nan and simply a fried rice, but its fine to try once in a blue moon! :)
