My picky husband loved this recipe!
Whatever dish u have told was very informative but in the mean time u add a word punjabi masala u could have said , add Indian masala , it doesn’t mean if u punjabi people has become empower enough than we people from other part of India doesn’t know anything about masala , while the kind of method u have told in ur sabji lecture is used all over the country so why do we need to show regionalism every where i think it’s not good unity and integrity of India , so i want to suggest you from next time say Indian masala neither punjabi or gujarati ,marathi , bengali masala .

Hi!
Can I use Punjabi masala for this recipe.
Hi Kevin,
Absolutely! Punjabi Masala makes this dish a super fast one!
hi anuja and hetal
Does paneer and feta(traditional) arethe same will u clarifiy the doubt
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.
Hi,
I wanted to know, if i wanted like a creamy gravy, could i use either, bio yougurt, or single cream???
Which would your recommend?
Thanks.
Hello !
Could it be possible to write down the grams next to the ounces?
Thanks a lot !!!
Ana
Love your site !!!
hello miss gud pm
i love your show me the curry.com
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 Hetal&Anuja
