ABOUT Paneer 65 RECIPE

Paneer 65 is a perfect starter for any occasion. Comes under Hyderabadi Cuisine and has prominent Chettinad flavors that make it absolutely scrumptious. Paneer 65 is quite famous in restaurants and even in functions as a starter. The outer part is crispy where as the paneer inside is soft and chewy. The recipe is quick and home style paneer 65 is way better than those what we get in food joints. Another very famous substitute for the non vegetarians is Chicken 65. The marination process is exactly the same in both. Paneer 65 is commonly a starter or you may call it as an appetizer, but it also gels well with fried rice or chapatis. Totally depends on your choice of eating. I personally love to have it with any pilaf or fried rice. These days even my son has started liking such spicy flavors, hence now it's even more pleasurable for me to cook such delicacies.
