Kashmiri Paneer here was honestly my first try but I had tasted it long back at a Kashmiri friend's place and since then wanted to try it out. So my version of Kashmiri Paneer took some seven years to come out in being. My version because the original was made little differently and was more spicy than this one. Kashmiri Paneer ought to be spicy but the one I made is medium spiced and considering my intake I prefer it that ways.
Now like most of my Paneer recipes this one too is quick fix, I mean arn't we all running too fast for anything too elaborate. So the main ingredient in Kashmiri Paneer is milk and ideally the paneer with spices is cooked in milk and trust me for its super yum taste. Kashmiri Paneer can be topped with some red chillies to make it more spicy and then can be enjoyed with rice or naan.
