My husband and I both work so our office tiffins are usually drab .I was on vacation and wanted to pack something interesting and yummy for my husband. I chose this recipe. It was quick to make and turned out very tasty The best part was that by frying and then putting in water, the paneer retained its softness and did not become chewy which it usually becomes. Kasuri methi lent a very good aroma to the dish. My family liked it very much and it feels so good when they ask me to cook it again. Thank you very much Ma'am for the dish recipe.
