Notes
- I recommend not so over-cooked veggies in this Thai soup. They taste better when they are crisp and crunchy. Overcooking makes a mashed kind of soup which is very different from the authentic thai recipes.
- Make sure to add paneer cubes towards the end or they may break as they are soft. You may use any soft cheese as a substitute too.
- If you wish to make it spicy, try adding chilies in powdered form.
