What to know about Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix

A paneer curry mix with no paneer, and heavy salt

Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix is a 50 g pack of dry gravy base. The list starts with onion, cashew nuts, skim milk powder, iodised salt and sugar, then coriander, garlic, corn starch, chilli, cumin, turmeric, tomato powder and whole spices, with refined cottonseed oil last. No percentages are declared. Home cooks buy it to get a restaurant-style mutter paneer without measuring out a dozen spices.

The pack is written for four servings of 12.5 g (2 tbsp). Per 100 g the powder has 365 kcal, 14.1 g protein, 16.9 g fat, 6.6 g saturated fat and 4,453 mg sodium. One serve has 46 kcal, 1.8 g protein and 557 mg sodium, which the pack prints as 28% of the daily value.

The name and front promise paneer, but there is no paneer in the ingredient list: the pack says to add it yourself, along with tomato and peas. The no added MSG, flavours, colours or preservatives claim does hold. CleanPlate scores it [L]EB5.

Does Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix live up to its claims?

The no added MSG, flavours, colours or preservatives claim holds. The paneer in the name is not in the list, and that is what sets the [L] flag.

  • Product name

    “Mutter Paneer Mix”

    Misleading

    Paneer is not in the ingredient list. The pack tells you to add paneer yourself, so the mix itself holds none.

  • On the pack

    “No Added MSG, No artificial Flavours, Colours and Preservatives”

    Holds

    None of these is listed. The ingredients are onion, cashew, milk powder, salt, sugar, spices and cottonseed oil.

  • On the pack

    “Complete Spice Mix”

    Be careful

    The whole spices are all there, but so are salt and sugar. Salt leads to 4,453 mg sodium per 100 g.

  • On the pack

    “Just Add Tomato, Peas & Paneer”

    Be careful

    The mix needs those three added for the dish to match its name. The paneer and peas supply the protein, since a serve of the mix has only 1.8 g.

Why Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix scores [L]EB5

Nutrition is an E: the mix gives little protein or fibre for its weight. Ingredients are a B, held back by the missing paneer. Risk is a 5 because sodium is 4,453 mg per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 14.1 g per 100 g and the mix has 16.9 g fat and 45 g carbohydrate, so it is a calorie-dense powder at 365 kcal. The protein comes mainly from cashew nuts and milk powder, and it is not enough to lift the grade.

No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds credit. One 12.5 g serve gives just 1.8 g protein.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is largely whole foods and spices: onion, cashew nuts, skim milk powder, garlic, coriander, chilli, cumin, turmeric and tomato powder. No additives are listed, and the pack's no added MSG, flavours, colours or preservatives claim holds.

Paneer is in the product name and absent from the list, which costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag. Salt, sugar, corn starch and refined cottonseed oil are also in the list, and no percentages are declared.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 5

Sodium drives the risk grade almost on its own: 4,453 mg per 100 g, or 557 mg in one 12.5 g serve. That is far above what the other parts add.

Saturated fat is 6.6 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, and declared added sugar is 6.9 g per 100 g. Energy is 365 kcal per 100 g, 46 kcal per serve. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix?

Onion, cashew nuts, skim milk powder, salt and sugar lead the list, followed by whole spices. Salt, sugar and the cottonseed oil are the parts to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Onion, cashew nuts and skim milk powder come first, so the base is a mix of onion, nut and milk powder rather than only spice. Iodised salt and sugar follow, then coriander, garlic, corn starch and chilli. Cumin, turmeric, tomato powder, white pepper, ginger, fennel, star anise, bay leaf, clove, cardamom and cassia bark give the flavour, and refined cottonseed oil is last. Percentages are not declared.

Ingredients to watch

  • SodiumConcern

    4,453 mg per 100 g, and 557 mg in one 12.5 g serve, 28% of the daily value. This is what drives the risk grade.

  • Paneer absentConcern

    Paneer is in the product name but not in the ingredient list, which costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    6.6 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, about 0.8 g per serve.

  • Added sugar and sugar in the listWorth watching

    Declared added sugar is 6.9 g per 100 g, about 0.9 g per serve, and sugar is fifth in the list.

  • Spices and no additivesFine

    Onion, whole spices and tomato powder make up the flavour, and no additive is listed.

What it doesn’t have

  • Paneer, which the name promises, is not in the list.
  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.

Recipes with Suhana Mutter Paneer Masala Mix

Cook it with fresh tomato, peas and paneer, or make aloo mutter as the pack suggests, and skip extra salt since one serve already has 557 mg sodium.

Mutter paneer with fresh tomato

Add chopped tomato, peas and paneer to the mix, which has 1.8 g protein per serve, and leave out extra salt.

Aloo mutter

The pack suggests potato and peas in place of paneer, which skips the item that the mix does not contain.

Lighter-salt gravy

Use a little less than the 12.5 g serve per portion and balance it with more tomato and peas, so sodium comes in below 557 mg a serve.
