Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Serve over fluffy basmati rice or with warm naan bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
  • Bloom the garam masala properly; cooking it in butter for a short time enhances its aroma and flavor profile.
