KADAI PANEER

KADAI PANEER:

Kadai paneer is the easiest paneer recipe that I make. It can be used as a as side dish for roti, but it will also goes well with simple pulaos or Biryani too. The coriander seeds and capsicum are the highlights of this recipe. Kadai Paneer is nothing but a simply, mild spicy & flavorful side dish using Paneer, Tomato & Capsicum. I usually order Kadai Panner while we go out for dinner or Lunch but have never tried at home. So recently tried this at home and my hubby loved it a lot.
