Paneer Butter Masala / Paneer Makhanwala
I had blogged the Paneer Butter Masala 2 years ago but it was too amateur-ish, post wise and photos wise, that I had to re-do and re-vamp the whole post. THereford, I have deleted the older post and created the new one. Paneer Makhanwala is a rich rich rich curry and oh-so-easy to put together. It…
Cheese & Chili Parantha
Yes! You read it right! Cheese & Chili Parantha. A perfect flat bread bringing the western and Indian flavors together.
