Paneer Masala Unique

Paneer Masala Unique

I call my recipe Paneer Masala Unique because it uses great ingredients but prepared in an easy way. Even though this is the usual delicious curry with veggies, paneer (cheese cubes) and spices, my recipe creates this dish without the hullabaloo that the usual recipes of other people have. Veggies, spices and cheese cubes are used in a wholesome, healthy manner, but there is beautiful color, wonderful flavor and great taste. What more do you need?

Paneer Masala goes well with a lot of breads, such as Rotis, Naans, Chapathis etc. You can also serve it on a hot bed of basmati rice or on a toast. You can even make it a layer in your sandwich! By the way, if you are Vegan, skip the Paneer (cheese cubes), but the dish will still be yummy because there are enough veggies and spices to make it an interesting dish.
