Paneer Butter Masala
This has been lying in my draft folder for a long time. I prepared Butter Naan along with this delicious masala when my sister visited me. I prepared paneer at home and it came out very tasty. Those who try store bought paneer in your recipes, please try home made paneer once and you will never go for store bought ones again. It is that much nice.
My fav ~ totally drooling over it :))
