My kids are crazy about paneer. This gravy is really rich and tasty dish. This can go well with rice / pulav / roti / naan. This is very rich and perfect treat for paneer lovers. I have seen many version of it. Till now I didn’t try at home because of the fact the recipe calls for raisins and kids are not big fan of it. But every now and then I am very tempted to try this one. So I have decided to substitute Raisin with Dates chutney / Red chutney / sweet chutney. If you prefer to have Raisin replace red chutney with Raisin
