Red chile powder, ginger and garlic provide the perfect backbone for the sauce. Substitute tofu for paneer if you like; the mildness of either lends itself well to this unexpectedly luxurious dish that is so much more than the sum of its parts. or to save this recipe.Subscriber benefit: give recipes to anyoneAs a subscriber, you have 10 gift recipes to give each month.
