Notes

What to serve with it?

In India, butter pork makhani is usually served with plain white rice or naan. (I usually have my rice cooker going at the same time.)
As a starter or appetizer, you can serve it with some samosas, fresh chicken spring rolls, or a light Greek salad with olives and feta.

How to store it?

Butter pork makhani can be frozen and stored for up to a month. Just let it cool before placing in an airtight glass container, before placing in the freezer.
