One of the most cooked and loved paneer (cottage cheese) dish in my home. My mom used to celebrate our little success's by treating us with surprise dinner and this dish had to be there. I have tried this one in my mom's style and it goes well with poori or rice. Spices are flavorful and paneer used is very soft which gives it a spicy yet delicate taste.
