Notes
Notes:
1. Take out the seeds from the red chili, else it will be very spicy. 2. If using frozen paneer, take it out and soak it in hot water for 10 minutes before use. 3. Do not cook for a long time after adding the paneer, it will become rubbery. 4. Paneer can be replaced with Mushroom to make Pallipalayam Mushroom.
