Expert Tips for the Best Coriander Paneer:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat paneer.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with less and add more if needed.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the paneer; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- For a creamier sauce, stir in a tablespoon of cream or yogurt at the end of cooking.
