Me and my hubby are not a big fan of paneer,but daughter dear loves it to the core.So whenever we go out to eat she would order one paneerrecipe.We had this paneer jalfrezi in a restaurant close to home called 1947.I had no clue of it’s taste but when it did came I found myself enjoying it with roomali rotis.So when Dhivya asked me to make that last week,I couldn’t resist myself in taking pictures as it was very colourful and a good balance of vegetables,paneer and spices.Paneer is always heathy,specially for kids as it has calcium and vitamin D.So whenever I get a chance make some paneer recipes for my daughter.So why don’t you try out this recipe which can be made very simple by proper planning.You can chop the vegetables and paneer in advance and the rest of the work is simple.See down below the recipe of paneer jalfrezi and treat your family and friends with yet another delectable recipe from my kitchen…
