Notes

The whole spices (cardamom pods, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, can be discarded, they don’t need to be consumed).

Traditionally, Kashmiris fry paneer, however, I have eliminated that step. You can choose to sauté or fry the paneer before cooking if you’d like.

Traditionally, Kashmiri’s use mustard oil. You can however, use oil of choice.
