- Don't overcook the paneer; it should be tender but not mushy. Adding it towards the end prevents it from breaking apart.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies and red chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for added freshness and visual appeal.
