    This looks perfect. I have yet to try a paneer dish. I especially like paneer with a tomato and onion based sauce. Yum!

        I will try it. I have been planning on making my own paneer too. My daughter has made it a few times and it’s really good. I’ll use it for this.

        Happy new year!

    You know that I’ve never tried paneer! And I will next time when I’m at any Indian restaurant, because I see it very often posted in our veggie group- by the way by reading your blog I’ve learnt a few things and was able to identify them properly last time when I was at the Indian place 🙂 It was good to know ! xx
