Tips & Tricks
For best results prepare all the ingredients together before turning on the flame
Store bought Paneer once purchased should always be given a hot water treatment before usage.
If the dish turns out to be too spicy add little hot water or tomato sauce to it so that it balances out the spicy flavour.
Do not leave the dish on high flame unattended as the dish might burn and that might defeat the whole purpose of preparation..
