• Instead of paneer, you can also use tofu.
• If you are health conscious you can even skip the step of frying the paneer or shallow fry it.
• If you have fried the paneer pieces make sure that you serve it immediately after adding it to the sauce to remain the crunch.Or else you can keep these separately and when you are ready to serve heat the sauce and add paneer pieces.
