My kids are very fond of paneer and I make paneer makhani quite often at home.
I came across this Tarla Dalal’s recipe yesterday. It was so interesting and easy that I couldn’t wait to try the recipe. I have made very few changes in the quantity of ingredients used to suit my requirement.

I was very very happy with the results. It was indeed done very quickly and it was really rich, creamy and absolutely yummy:)
