Very tasty! The mint flavor is delicious and savory. I live in NYC and I didn''t have time to go to the Indian grocery to get paneer, so I used ricotta instead-and it still turned out great! I''m looking forward to making this again.

Thanks Divya. Good idea using the ricotta. Will help those in the US with this shortcut.
