Help .. How can we make Paneer Kaju curry ,using Khoya .?

Answers:
Hi there. Recipes for this using Khoya (dried milk) instead of a form of yoghurt are thin on the ground -- I haven't been able to track one down explicitly. I have, however got this one which uses water, which of course you could change to Khoya dissolved in the volume of water as given? So you can compare with a yoghurt version and possibly merge the two recipes to your taste, I've tacked one of those on at the end for you as well. See what you think:
