I love paneer and love to try out dishes with it. I have made this Paneer curry today which I cooked in Pistachio gravy and will serve it with some flat bread and boondi raita for lunch. It is a delicious curry cooked in rich gravy combined with spices. It is a lovely dish even to prepare for lunch or dinner parties and I assure that your guests will be all praises about you. So, sharing the recipe with you all..
