METHI PANEER RECIPE


Methi Paneer makes a flavorful, light creamy side dish for Indian breads as well as for Pulao varieties. Not much of spices are added in this recipe. A slow cooked dish in hung curd / yogurt gives the dish a creamy texture. Yogurt can be replaced to cashew paste or with cream. But that makes the dish bit high in calories. Fresh mehti yields fantastic earthy flavors to the dish, can be replaced with Kasuri methi as well. Ignore ginger and garlic, i had some freshly made paste so added to the dish.
