Paneer tawa masala recipe

Paneer tawa masala recipe – Simple and exotic paneer recipe with full video and step by step pictures.

We make different varieties of paneer recipes to pair with chapati. I have posted many paneer gravies in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This recipe I adapted from Tarla dalal’s cookbook. It turned out very nice. It is made using easily available ingredients.

The aroma and the flavour of the spices take this paneer dish to a different level. We are adding chaat masala and dried fenugreek leaves for marinating the paneer. This gives a nice dhaba style taste to the paneer gravy.

The semi-dry gravy pairs well with roti, naan, kulcha, and jeera rice . Also check out Dhaba style paneer recipe, Aloo paneer masala, Pepper paneer gravy, Malai paneer
