Made this with chickpeas instead of paneer. I enjoyed it but my husband said that he'd prefer to have paneer.
0 HelpfulReally good! Healthy, fresh, great flavor! We added garbanzo beans to paneer for extra protein and were glad we did!
0 HelpfulMade my own paneer and added chickpeas for more protein--loved it! Super easy. Even left out the cilantro for hater boyfriend, and it was delicious.
0 HelpfulPretty decent. I ended up making my paneer as well, since my grocery store doesn't sell it. Pretty straightforward, if a little time-consuming. The curry itself was tasty, though I think I would add a little more spice (curry and related flavours, like cumin or coriander) next time. I also found that I needed to add water to the curry as I was cooking it to prevent it from drying out too much, and keeping it a little more saucy,
0 HelpfulThis had great Indian flavor, but we are not huge fans of Indian food, so it only gets 3 stars from me. It was easy, too. I used chicken breast instead of shrimp since we aren't shrimp eaters!
