ginger, finely chopped and ground with garlic,
onions, cloves, pepper corns, cinnamon, cardamoms, salt, chili powder,
blanched almonds, coconut milk, coriander
leaves and almonds-slivered for garnish. The end result is finger licking

the coastal parts of the Indian states of Orissa, West Bengal and Bihar.

balls) of paneer soaked in sweetened, thickened, creamy milk.
