Paneer Masala

Paneer is rich in protein and is good for kids especially who dislike milk.I try my best to use paneer in our daily diet and the best way to utilise is to use them in the North Indian gravies.Though S and me are not great paneer lovers,I definitely make it a point to cook for my kids.This time I adapted this recipe from Jaya V Shenoy’s recipe book.The gravy came out good and we had it with jeera rice .
