This post is a part of the “Cooking from a cook book using a single ingredient” theme at BM#26, hosted by Srivalli..
I chose Paneer (Cottage Cheese) and this is the starters dish for the same. I chose this recipe from “Healthy Starters” by Tarla Dalal. This was a simple to make recipe but really really delicious and healthy too… My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the same…
