Notes

  • If you want it little spicy add ordinary chilli powder.
  • Here I have added kashmiri chilli powder for colour.
  • Adding jaggery is optional.
  • You can adjust the gravy consistency depending upon your need.
  • Crush methi leaves and add for more flavour.
  • After adding paneer don't boil for too long as paneer will become rubbery.
