    Hey Mullai,
    Should thank you for the recipe first! 🙂 I have 2 doubts though. I tried frying the paneer as you said till golden. But it was not showing any signs of turning golden. Instead it was giving out water and becoming real tender without changing color. So i just took it off flame then. i wonder why?
    Then…I had some canned tomato puree in the fridge which i opened a couple of weeks ago. when i took it out to use, it was no longer red but dark maroon color. So i didnt have the confidence to use it in the curry!Is it a sign it is gone bad? I couldnt make out anything from the smell.
    I substituted with tomatoes for puree and i got a good dish nevertheless 😛 Something different, maybe not as good though 🙂
    Hope to try out your other recipes. I am inspired by the raving comments for your recipes!!! 🙂
    Thanks a lot !

      Hi Sunset, here are the answers to your questions 1. Tawa with oil should be hot enough to brown them, anything under low flame will take little longer to brown. First place them over a paper towel to drain any water and then start frying. Paneer with water content will splutter when dropped in oil, proceed with caution. Also soak them in warm water until use after frying. This will keep the inner flesh soft. 2. Canned tomato puree usually good for fist use, then as you said the vinegar or preservative sometimes make them black. So use the whole can or tightly seal the leftover in a clean glass bottle and refrigerate. I usually smell them first if its too sour and looks too dark, then would definitely toss it trash. One best option… if you think of buying canned tomatoes…. buy canned whole tomatoes and crush. If possible try to buy the one with no preservatives, its quite hard to find but check your market, sometimes you might get lucky. Thanks.

    Didnot come out ok with puree. We had to add water at the end to take out the tangy flavor of puree. Next time will try same recipe with fresh tomatoes instead.

    this recipe is really excellent!!! i tried this and came out well… thanks for the recipe and clarifyin my doubt… will u please add butter chicken recipe also? thanks…

    1. Mullai

      Hi Jenny, thanks a bunch. I did see your recipe request and sure will try to post. Let me make one point clear, I am just a home cook and do this work as a hobby, I won't have all the ingredients locked up in my pantry, sometimes might run short of items, like how typical housewives do. So, certain preparations have to take a long…….break until my next visit to the supermarket. I go with whatever pops out of my refrigerator. Kindly bear with me and one day will surprise you with the dish. Hope you would understand. BTW how did you hear about this website?

      1. jenny

        ok.. ur recipes r really excellent and always reliable… : ) thats y i asked u…i know the recipe finally appears here will be excellent…  so waitin for that… and if u dont mind i hav some more items to ask…

        and i got this site from orkut…

      Jenny, making tomato puree is little time consuming, store bought canned crushed tomatoes or whole tomatoes works fine too. If you are interested in making, just boil the tomatoes for 4 minutes, then put them in cold water, this should loosen the skin, remove it with a fork, Core the tomatoes and directly add them to the sauce. Hope this helps.
