The addition of crushed paneer and yogurt will make the gravy thick. You can adjust the amount of water to get a desired thickness. In restaurants, grinded cashew nuts or poppy seeds are used to make the gravy thick.
There is no need to use ghee or butter although lots of ghee or butter is used in restaurants. Using oil will save unhealthy saturated fats without reducing the taste and flavour.
