Notes:

• Ras el Hanout is a North African Spice mix, with a wonderful earthy flavour. Here is the recipe for home-made Ras el Hanout. You can replace it with other spice mixes, such as Garam Masala , if you prefer. I recommend. trying the Ras el Hanout
• Instead of Paneer(Indian cottage cheese), you can add fresh Mozzarella. Just tear up the fresh Mozzarella into the sauce in place of Paneer. It works, since Fresh Mozzarella is non-melting . Unsalted is best.
• Ghormeh Sabzi – is a Persian mixture of Dried Herbs. Dried Parsley, Leeks, Coriander and Fenugreek are used. You can use the individual dried herbs, about 1/2 tsp each or replace with dried Parsley if that is all you have.
