oh nice! I always marinate too, in a similar way but with different spices (biryani masala, tumeric and chili powder) and lemon juice instead of mint. This sounds really nice though, I'm gonna try it for a change.
also my former Indian housemate used to make this great curry with both potatoes and paneer and I've tried to replicate it but it wasn't the same. I miss that guy
