    This is very nice. I must stock up on cashew nuts (have walnuts, almonds and pecans only) to make this. The sauce is great.
    The pictorial is very helpful.

    Hi Aarthi,
    If we add milk then it gets curdled right. what to do not to get curdled?

    @Madhuhis way it wont get curdled. The curry shouldn't be boiling while you add milk or you can take a small amount of curry and it with milk, then pour that to the curry, this way it wont curdle. This process is called tempering.

    I made it today. I like that the recipe uses a fresh coriander masala, it gives the dish such a lovely green colour.

    By the way, the recipe says: "Throw in the frozen peas and peas". Shouldn't it say "peans and paneer"?

    Aarthi, why do you put the fried paneer into water? does it help in maintaining its' consistency? also is the water at room temperature/cold/hot?

    @vineetaannit is hot water, it makes the paneer soft
