I loved this! It's very mild and rich; I couldn't stop eating it. I made a couple of minor changes...I used cardamom powder rather than the whole seeds, I used sour cream instead of the heavy cream, and I didn't strain the tomato mixture. Also, I removed the bay leaf before processing the sauce. Absolutely delicious...thanks for posting this!

Must say that this was the easiest and yet the tastiest recipe I have tried. I used ginger-garlic paste instead of the chopped ginger; omitted the bay leaf, methi, cream and sugar and mom declared that it was great just on its own! Thanks for the great recipe!

I love paneer! There are so many wonderful Paneer recipes and this is one of them! I really like that it doesnt use onion and garlic because this saved me alot of time, I also used can tomato purree because I didnt have any fresh tomato and still tasted wonderful. Next time I will put with Yoghurt instead of cream to make it healthier.
