Shahi Paneer

Paneer is my family's favourite item and they finish it off with no complaints.I had already posted many paneer side dishes like Paneer Do Pyaza,Butter Paneer masala,Palak Paneer,Mutter paneer masala,Paneer Jalfrezi etc.In this lane here adds the shahi panner which is a slight variation with the paneer butter masala.

They both taste little bit same except the fact that paneer butter masala tastes little sweet than the shahi paneer.

Try out this paneer sidedish which tastes very good with a simple roti..
