  I tried this recipe out a couple of days ago. After years and years of watching my mother make this recipe i've never actually known how she does it, and i have never attempted to try to make anything indian in case i get it wrong. But this recipe was so simple and easy to follow, and it turned out great, except my sister pointed out that i needed to put a bit more chili powder in it, but it was great. I made my first indian meal and i am quite proud of myself :) Now i don't have any excuses when my parents ask me to make dinner :)

  Had this @ my daughters house in Winchester prior to going to see concert of Leonard Cohen (best singer songwriter in the world) in Bournmouth, perfect evening! recipe to die for and so simple as well. I usually cook French only, but I am doing it for my wife this Friday. I love my daughter who is such a nice person.

  This was really easy to make and tastes fantastic. I used 1/2tsp of cumin powder and 1/2tsp of corriander powder instead of the garam masala (just because I don't like gm). I used a tin of chopped tomatoes with no stock. I also added some fresh coriander at the end for an extra kick. If the mixture tastes a little bitter add some sugar. Will recommed to friends and make again.

  Used home-made garam masala mix, and substituted chunks of par-boiled then fried potato for the paneer; easy to cook & extremely tasty. Served with chicken biryani, enjoyed by all the family

  Can this be chilled/frozen? I'm planning to make it tomorrow but want to know if it's ok for school lunches.

  Made it last night - lovely! I'd suggest cutting the paneer into quite small cubes, to minimise 'squeakiness', and adding a little more cayenne pepper. Wonderfully easy to put together (I used tinned plum tomatoes).

  Agree with dabicquinn - smaller cubes, more spices. A couple of chopped green chillies add a wonderful warmth

  Thanks for the comments about needing additional spice. It definitely needs more than a pinch of cayenne. Added extra chilli, cumin and coriander. I only had two tomatoes but didn't seem to make any difference. Very tasty.

  I added about half a teaspoon of sugar (to half the quantity of ingredients as I did it for 2 people) to this recipe as I found it a bit bitter as another person pointed out. Really lovely simple dish though and will cook it again.
