I sometimes add a pinch of sugar to the spice pâté which has the effect of softening the spices and producing a more mellow flavour. Rather than aubergine, I sometimes like to use brown chestnut mushrooms instead, slicing them thickly and frying for a few minutes in the oil before adding the paneer.

Cut an aubergine into 3cm cubes, then fry in 4 tbsp of oil until soft and golden. Tear 200g of paneer into rough pieces and add to the aubergine, with 100g of cashew nuts, letting the nuts and paneer colour lightly.
