Paneer Zaika
Paneer Zaika is my all time favorite. And this time when I made Paneer Zaika , I fell in love again with the aromatic flavors. Paneer Zaika is again a quick fix like most of my Paneer recipes.Infact it is interesting that how with little twist in some old recipe I reached to Paneer Zaika.
Paneer Zaika is one of my those kitchen experiments where I wanted to control calories yet not compromise the taste and hence some ingredients here and there and EUREKA!
So this Paneer Zaika is a sure shot hot recipe and I can bet you would just love this as much as my family loves this. All I can say you must try Paneer Zaika whenever next time you have your hands on Paneer.
