Notes

  1. Leftovers will keep for 1 to 2 days if stored properly in the fridge in air-tight containers. Warm up over medium heat, or microwave f0r 2-3 minutes. 
  2. Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes work best for paneer butter masala because they are not as sour as the local varieties. Substitute fresh tomatoes with half of a 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes.
  3. You can add ground meat like chicken, lamb or beef in this recipe. Cook it along with the tomatoes. 
  4. Garam Masala: I use homemade garam masala, but you can substitute it with any store bought garam masala. Please note that garam masala is different from curry powder
