ABOUT Dhaba style paneer masala RECIPE

Dhaba style paneer masala is unique and is enriched with strong aroma. It is a common Indian dhaba recipe. I always try this dish whenever I go to any dhaba. I usually serve it with plain roti and onion salad but I enjoy it more with butter nun in dhaba. Some dhaba use kasuri methi. But today's receipe has been prepared sans kasuri methi. I usually serve it with plain roti and onion salad.
