How long does Paneer Jalfrezi keep in the fridge?

Paneer Jalfrezi keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Paneer Jalfrezi ahead of time?

Paneer Jalfrezi is best served fresh; it comes together in about 25 minutes, so prep your ingredients ahead and cook just before serving. Pre-chopping the aromatics and measuring spices can cut active time in half.

What can I serve with Paneer Jalfrezi?

Classic pairings include roti, rice. For a complete north indian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
