This recipe looks delicious. Can I substitute the mushrooms for paneer? Is yes, would I fry the paneer or not before adding it to the masala mix?
Keep up the great work:-)

Hi Pinal,
You can substitute the mushrooms with the paneer…I am sure it’ll taste great:)
It is not necessary to fry the paneer, we think it will absorb more flavor if it is not fried, but make sure to be very gentle while mixing it.
Enjoy!

Hi Vidhya,
Feta and paneer are not the same. Paneer is made from cow’s milk by boiling the milk, adding some type of acid (lemon juice, vinegar, etc) and allowing the milk to separate to form curds. The whey is drained out and the remaining curds are pressed to form paneer. Feta is traditionally made from goat or sheep milk (though it can be made from cow’s milk). The process is similar to making paneer, however, the curds that are formed are cured in brine — making it a salty cheese.
