Nutty Paneer Pasanda

So it was a Monday again!!
Monday means no onion and garlic food for me. So I face this challenge every week as to what I should cook for Monday dinner. Paneer most of the times has come as a very handy and easy base recipe. Nutty Paneer Pasanda is one of such easy recipe and the taste was delicious enough to make my whole family finish it within minutes.
Nutty Paneer Pasanda is my recipe for Paneer Pasanda where I replaced cashews with peanuts. Reason was that I wanted to lower the calorie count and avoid too much richness which cashew gives to the dish.However I was little skeptical about the final outcome of Nutty Paneer Pasanda. But trust me peanuts just did the right job however one needs to be careful about the quantity otherwise it would overpower the dish. Infact adding little sugar just gave subtle sweetness to the dish which was much needed. Though I didn’t add Onion and garlic but if don’t have limitations like mine adding grated onions can add more taste to the dish.
For those wonder about the name Nutty Paneer Pasanda is because Peanuts not just give body to the dish about a coarse and nutty texture as well as flavor. So what are you waiting for let us get cooking.
