RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: Paneer majestic is known for its yellow colour, hence do not skip the turmeric powder or yellow food colour. Cumin seeds and coriander is a key ingredient in making the paneer majestic. If you do not add corn flour then the dahi will split. Adding corn flour makes the dish very creamy.
