On this Sunday..

Cooking food is always an art for me !!! There is a NO fixed procedure to cook something good. If you love eating, then you surely love cooking too!

Coming back to the topic, I am here sharing me recipe on matar paneer.

Frankly speaking, the last thing I would eat is matar paneer. But when I decided to cook something nice this Sunday, the first thing that comes to my mind is this dish. I hate the dishes which are wet i mean “tarri wali”. I love thick gravy or “sukhi sabzi” more.

So, What I do, to break my mind set is searching differing methods of making this matar paneer on “you tube”. I found millions, having delicious looking pictures.

What I opt is “shahi paneer” looking matar paneer recipe.
