For more authenticity I used coconut oil for the vegetable oil, low fat coconut milk for the milk, cilantro/coriander leaves for freshness, the cayenne replaced with1 dried red chili nice and spicy. ;) I opted for the paneer. Loved the sweetness the raisins gave the dish. Served for lunch with naan.<br/>Shukriya! Namaste <br/>Made for ZWT #8 Lively Lemon Lovelies
