That looks delicious. I’ve had some Indian food and liked it as long as it wasn’t to spicy. 👌

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

Thanks Dale! I’m with you on the spice level. 😊

Yum. Your niece was so shy. Hope you enjoyed your Family.

Thank you Barbara! She was a little nervous about being on film. 😊

I was happy to see this recipe and video. We had a short lived Indian restaurant in our small town and this was by far the most popular dish on the menu. I made it for dinner tonight and it is so yummy. You always seem to make everything look so simple, I probably wouldn’t have attempted it without watching you make it first. Also, your niece is very pretty, sweet and as tall as you.

Can this be frozen?!
Garam Masala (sp.)

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

I’ve never tried freezing it but I think just it would. Garam Madala is a spice blend.

What did you do with the paneer that you put the spices on?

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

Roasted the paneer in the oven until lightly crispy.

Did you combine it with the sauce when you puree everything or did you just serve it on the side as a condiment
