TAWA PANEER MASALA

Hi All,

I always stock up paneer in my refrigerator, we all love paneer in any dish.

I make panner sidedish atleast 3 days a week, sometimes I just crumble paneer ,add chopped onions, green chilles, salt mix and roll it in chapathis and enjoy our dinner 😁.

Recently I came across this tawa recipe, since it looked easy and  no grinding required I found the recipe to be very easy , I tried it and it came to be wonderful. From then I make this sidedish atleast two times a day.

To make the dish easily and at right consistency, chop the vegs as small as possible which will be very perfect.

I feel happy to share the recipe with you all, try it in home and give me your feedback.
