Notes
- Do not use oil for this recipe, use only ghee for best flavour.
- Adjust red chillies as per your preference you can reduce kashmiri red chillies to 4.
If you prefer skip jaggery powder but I strongly recommend adding it for a tangy taste. - Do not cook paneer for a long time after adding to masala as it might turn rubbery.
- Alternatively without roasting paneer you can even marinade paneer in the ground paste and add it directly and cook it.
- Roasting paneer gives good texture and flavour.
- The consistency is purely your choice, you can make it dry like a starter or semi dry or gravy kind too. I made it semi dry.
- Use good quality ghee for a good flavour.
