Editor's Note: Vegans can opt to make vegetable koftas instead of paneer substituting paneer with an equal quanitity ground frozen peas or grated cabbage or grated cauliflower.
For a Jain version, skip the onion, ginger and garlic and add 1 tsp saunth or ginger powder and a generous pinch of hing or asafoetida to the gravy.
