## Notes

* firstly, use ripped tomatoes else the gravy turns to be more tangy and you end up adding more sugar to neutralise the tanginess.

* also, roast the paneer in **[ghee](/recipes/how-to-make-butter-recipe-ghee-recipe) for more flavour.**

* additionally, if you are looking to add onions then saute onions along with ginger.

* finally, **paneer butter masala** taste great when topped with more fresh cream.
