Lately, life has become hectic as I am busy packing for our move next month. The funny part is that while I am trying to pack, my mind drifts towards the blog post and while I am in front of the computer, the thought of packing takes center stage….. 🙂
Even though I tried a lot of recipes from various sources, I wasn’t contented with any. So finally I decided to try it out my way, in the true spirit of experimentation. I was really happy with the result. Whoever tasted this dish ended up wiping their plate clean.. 🙂

Hi Silby,
Frying paneer is optional. To make it even tastier, you can fry them in clarified butter/ Ghee. Please have a look at the Ingredients’ Gallery to see the picture of Black Cardamom. That should help you.

Can we use milk instead of cream?

Hi Mareena! This recipe looks great! 😀
I was wondering what kind of cream do you use? Can I use heavy or sour cream? or yogurt?
Also, what types of green chiles do you use? Is bell or jalapeno ok?
Thank you! 😀

I would suggest using heavy cream than sour cream.No yoghurt. Jalapenos will be a bit more hot/spicy. But I wouldnt recommend bell pepper though
