Restaurant Style Paneer Curry.

Exotic vegetarian delicacies are never complete without paneer.There are so many varieties of dishes cooked with paneer and we people always love the restaurant style curries as they are quite different from the dishes prepared in our homes. We think that the curries prepared in restaurants are very difficult to prepare but its never true . The only difference is that those dishes are cooked by trained chefs and we people are not experts like them .But as we all know practice makes a man perfect we can practice like they do and make great dishes like them .
   This is my first try to a restaurant style paneer dish.It came out very tasty and mouth watering.It tasted excellent with roti.
