This dish is lavish and slightly on a high calorie. But sometimes it’s okay to indulge in rich food. If you are a health conscious person then skip full fat cream and use half and half cream. Also you could use coconut cream if you are a vegan.

Club Paneer Malai Curry with rice, naan, roti or phulkas. For variation you could add some fenugreek leaves and green peas. I have used dry fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). Also it’s mild spiced curry you could add spice as per your preference.
