Not to be TOO picky, but, um, how much paneer do you use? It's not listed in the ingredients....

(This is one of my favorite dishes, by the way. You can actually get it as a frozen entree, even here in Hickville, Dallas, Texas, where I've never seen an Indian grocery store.)

I hope you haven't been waiting too long for the reply. You get paneer in the indian stores, if you get a block approx 2 in x 3 in x 3 in or so, it should do. You can cut the paneer into 1 inch square pieces.

I forgot... if you get the fried cubes, you can add 1 - 2 cups. It entirely depends on how much you like the paneer, and how many of you are going to fight ovet the pieces.
