Notes
I really like to use coconut oil for making this Cauliflower Paneer Curry as coconut oil is very flavorful. If you do not have coconut oil, use any vegetable oil for this recipe.
If you want to make this Cauliflower Paneer curry with coconut milk as vegan, skip the paneer and add in diced tofu.
