• You can use sugar or honey for some sweetness.
• Adjust the quantity according to your choice.
• This Shahi Paneer recipe uses uncooked paneer however you can deep fry the paneer until light brown and add into the curry for variations.
• You can even use melon seeds instead of cashews.
• I have soaked the cashews for some time, but you can use directly.
• Make sure curd should not be sour.
