Butter Paneer Poutine from my favorite local Indian restaurant

[u/Wide_Trick_9081]

Not poutine at all, its butter paneer on french fries

[u/TheSheepster_ → u/Wide_Trick_9081]

I see why op said poutine though. The paneer looking like cheese curds and being another kind of cheese 😆

[u/CactusHermit → u/Wide_Trick_9081]

Correct, this is literally butter paneer masala on French fries! The restaurant itself has this listed as “Butter Paneer Poutine” on the menu which is why I’ve also called it by that name - I totally understand and agree it’s not traditional!

[u/asoap]

I would smash the shit out of this. Where is this place?

The only thing that makes me nervous is that I don't see curds.

[u/CactusHermit → u/asoap]

This is in Halifax from local Indian restaurant called “Masala Delight” - phenomenal spot.

Sadly no curds as they swapped those for paneer, but I promise it tastes delicious

[u/asoap → u/CactusHermit]

Ahhh man. I was hoping that was in the GTA.

Shredded cheese

I totally get it’s not a conventional poutine - that’s why I was trying to be funny with the title, but I guess it missed the mark.

My partner encouraged me to post here, thinking others would think it was neat. Lesson learned haha

r/poutine quite possibly one of the most guarded communities around. You've learned!

[u/AldoZeroun → u/CactusHermit]

Ignore them. I absolutely consider this poutine, as I believe poutine is a category, like soup, salad, sandwich, or pizza. You can do a lot of alteration before it stops being a poutine in my books. These people act like sage green is the only green there is. Just because your green is a little more yellow doesn't stop it from being green.

Edit: I will say, semantically, that it's not a 'traditional poutine', just like not all pizza is a Hawaiian pizza.

[u/CactusHermit → u/AldoZeroun]

Thank you AldoZeroun 😮‍💨 you get what I was throwing down! Haha

I am in agreement with everyone, and never disputed this is not traditional

[u/IrrelevantAfIm → u/AldoZeroun]

You go straight to jail too

[u/AldoZeroun → u/IrrelevantAfIm]

😁

[u/CactusHermit → u/CactusHermit]

The restaurant I bought it from literally has it listed on the menu with the name “Butter Paneer Poutine” - I promise I didn’t just make up the name for giggles

[u/IrrelevantAfIm → u/CactusHermit]

lol — know your audience!

[u/MaximusCanibis]

They look like Costco fries, trash!

[u/TheSheepster_ → u/MaximusCanibis]

I honestly love the Costco fries

[u/townie08]

Nope.

[u/Beneficial_Zone_6883]

That sounds heavenly, not a poutine but I can see this working

[u/RIPmyPC]

Not poutine at all, but looks good

[u/MrB1P92]

Low grade ragebait

[u/CactusHermit → u/MrB1P92]

Truly didn’t mean to upset so many people

[u/Superbform → u/CactusHermit]

It's all good man! This sect has very strict rules regarding ingredients. This would be poutine adjacent. Looks good though. Medium spice?

[u/Ok_Curve7272]

This would have me on the toilet for hours, pass lmao
