  • Adding tomato sauce gives a nice and mild sweetness to the curry.
  • Frying the paneer is optional or the cubed paneer can be soaked in the hot water to get it soften.
  • Store bought tomato puree can also be used for this recipe.I sauteed the tomatoes in a tsp of oil and grind it to make the puree.
  • If the curry is thick adjust the consistency with milk.
