     This is very helpful.  I had assumed they meant panir, or something
like it, which I have made before, so I didn't ask about it.  Good thing
you corrected the assumption!  It does make sense, though, to use
yoghurt; now that you mention it, I don't recall that style to have panir
in it, but rather a smooth sauce.

     And the packet clearly was made in India for sale there; there's a
place at the bottom where the price inside and outside of Pune can be
stamped.  They also have a website; maybe I should check it out.  Thanks!
