He loves Paneer!!
Yes my son can have it every day without any complains. So now that’s gives me enough opportunity to experiment and try out different recipes and combinations to make Paneer. This Paneer Jalfrezi which actually means stir fried Paneer in Vegetables is one of the mix and match recipes. Where I wanted me add spinach to enhance color of the dish also the catch is not to cover and cook. It has to be stir fried hence everything has to be cut in fine juliennes and not also we need to make sure not to overcook. Paneer Jalfrezi tastes best when served hot and has good flavors of tomato, spinach and if you wish you can add some capsicum too.
Since my son is not fond of capsicum I avoided but it would enhance the taste more. So some let’s start cooking Paneer Jalfrezi

- Onions: 2 medium sliced
- Tomatos: 1 medium sliced into thin strips
