I made this Anaari paneer curry for a tv cookery show recently. What an incredible day!! It was so exciting to watch myself on a cookery show ..This is the second dish which I made for the show called “Konjum Soru Konjum Varalaru” in a tamil channel ( Pudu yugam TV). When the channel contacted me for the first time, I was super excited but at the same time very nervous. Some of the things which were running on my mind were – what if I goof-up..Will I be able to make something good and appealing for the audience. I enjoy cooking but cooking for the family and cooking for the show with lights and camera is completely different. The first time, they asked me to make a dish using oranges which was easier for me as I already had orange cake, muffins etc on my blog and confident to cook. For recipe and video at – Click here.
