Aloo paneer masala recipe: paneer and potatoes cooked in a rich tomato-based gravy, with step-by-step pictures and a video. Paneer masala always goes well with chapati, naan, and rotis. We generally make different varieties of paneer gravy such as Paneer butter masala, shahi paneer, paneer do pyaza… Recently, during our Hong Kong trip, we ordered food from a dhaba wala guy and tried the paneer and chole masala combo. I loved the idea of paneer with chole and rajma. I wanted to try the aloo-paneer combo. The aloo paneer masala turned out so well and was a super hit at home too. We had rotis, which you can serve with kulchas or lachha paratha too.
