Chutney Paneer



The last one of the colour series is this very delicious Paneer starter.My daughter loves paneer and am constantly in search of paneer dishes. One such search led me to this starter from Sanjeev Kapoor.I did not have the aam ka paapad, so haven’t used it. Banana leaves gives this dish a wonderful flavour and there is no dearth of banana leaves in the city that I stay. MY daughter had a bite and said why don’t restuarants serve these starters!!!Do try this simple flavourful and delicately soft chutney paneer
