ABOUT Methi Paneer Curry RECIPE

My kids are great fan of paneer so generally my dishes are full of paneer but to have paneer every second day with same taste sounds little weird. To spare us from this boredom of taste I usually give my twist and turns to these dishes to make them more interesting and presentable. To give it further more healthy touch I avoided using cream and more oil. Even then it is so yummy to be a part of any party menu also.
