Creamy Kadhai Paneer
Prep: 15 min Cook: 25 min Servings: 6by Vaishali Sharma57 recipes>Paneer...An all time favorite at my house specially with my husband! He can have paneer any time any day. Paneer and bell peppers are cooked in a kadhai in a creamy onion tomato gravy and added are dry powdered fenugreek leaves that gives it a distinct nice flavor. This is very easy to prepare and is a perfect entree to go with Butter Naan, Poori's or Parantha's. If you too are a paneer lover, you must try this gravy and trust me, this one is a stealer! Ingredients
