ABOUT Paneer Methi Kofta Curry RECIPE

A friend of mine from college has moved to my town. Since I had not been there even once, going empty handed was not an option. For me personally, picking up a gift is getting tougher by the day. Alternatively, I make them a nice meal or bake something for them. Shows the fact that I gave my heart and soul to it. This kofta curry is a dedication to my mother who has not altered her kofta recipe for years now. Give it a break ma try mine ;)
