My kids love paneer, so it has to be on the menu at least once every ten days. I always need to come up with something different to keep it exciting for them.

This cottage cheese gravy has a flavourful blend of aromatic tandoori masala powder , biryani masala powder and cashew nuts adding a luscious texture. This gravy can be enjoyed with some rice, pulao, naan bread or rotis
