Saucy Paneer Recipe Recipe
Since it is the Lent Season vegetarian recipes are much in
demand.... deciding the daily menu without any non-veg dish is challenging for a
Christian family :D.... Since Paneer is loved by almost all I thought of sharing
- this Saucy Paneer recipe with you today.... with just a couple of sauces you can
- make this curry very quickly and it goes well with fried rice, noodles or even
- with chapathi..... If you don’t have 8 to 8 sauce at home you can easily omit it
- or substitute with sweet and sour sauce like I do when I run out.... Instead of paneer you can also use Tofu for a
- vegan version..... Check out the other Paneer recipes I posted earlier too.....
