Creamy Tomato Paneer !! So what is so different about this one?
Well this one is not just quick fix and yummy but also goes well with any Indian combination and can be a good substitute to your Makhani Paneer.I personally love this Creamy Tomato Paneer more because it is creamy without actual cream in it. A perfect combo of creamy texture with tomato gravy and all you need is bowl of rice or some hot parathas to go with it.
Whenever we have Creamy Tomato Paneer being served most of it goes away before the actual meal starts and you can be flexible with the amount of spices you want to add as per your taste. Its an easy recipe for a weekday cooking too and kids offcourse like this one a lot.
Creamy Tomato Paneer is also a good way to make your food look rich but still remain healthy and light.However incase you want to replace milk with pure cream go ahead and do it , I am sure the taste would only get better.
