PANEER MAKHANI
In recent days I have been so irregular in my blogging owing to illness in the family and many unexpected travels. I hope to fine tune everything and regularise blogging in the near future. Today’s recipe is from Punjabi Cuisine and I had noted the recipe from a TV channel long back as it seemed so rich as well as very simple to prepare. I just gave it try yesterday as I had paneer in my stock too. I just made few modifications to suit the family’s taste buds.I hope you will also enjoy this rich and creamy gravy.

P.S:

Use home made paneer
Adjust spices as per your taste
You can use cream or thick curd finally.
The colour depends on tomato used
Use kashmiri chilly powder for a better colour and flavour.
