Instructions
Curry Sauce:
- In a large bowl, combine, cream, lemon juice, salt, fenugreek leaves, paprika and cayenne.
- In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and saute garlic until golden brown. Stir in turmeric and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the cream mixture and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened to the consistency of gravy. (Do not over-boil as the lemon juice may separate the cream.) Set aside.

- Remove from oven and spread curry sauce on the mushrooms, evenly and generously.
- Sprink grated paneer on top and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes or until paneer is light golden on top. Note: Paneer is not meant to melt, so watch until they turn a light golden brown on top.)
