  1. Not sure if using light coconut milk was the difference. It it lacked flavor. Also not sure if paneer brand makes a difference as well.






  2. Hi

    I wonder if you can be specific when you write quantity of onions and tomatoes and say in cup measurement or weight (g) to make it easier to replicate?

    Thanks
