I may be too late with my post but i have only just joined and came accross this conversation in my search for a pasanda recipies.

So just to add - I had pasanda in India - with paneer - and it was nothing like a korma.  Yes it was very mild and creamy but not sweet.  It was also rather red in colour (not tikka red, just natural tomatoe like red). 

And it was delicious!  Hence I am still on a quest to find my perfect pasanda recipe which resembles the one I had in India - but no luck yet.
