We hate to break it to you, but it’s true. Chicken paneer masala is pretty calorific at 229 calories per 100g<\/a>. While that may not sound too bad, that’s before you’ve factored in any obligatory side dishes such as warm, fluffy naans and hot steamed rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is it so high in calories? Well, the answer lies within the rich tomato sauce that is layered with heavy cream and butter (although both of these ingredients are of course optional). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
