Paneer Lababdar – Rich Paneer side dish for fried rice, Roti, Naan

When I was in UK we visited a few Indian restaurant. When I visit Indian Restaurants I normally look for the new dishes. I saw this Paneer Lababdar and asked the guy in the restaurant what it was all about. He was explaining to me that it was a Onion Tomato gravy but rich dish as it has cream and milk. My kids were big fan of Paneer. So we ordered the dish. I was thinking it will be close to Paneer butter masala. But tasted different. I could taste the sesame seeds and ajwan. I have tried this at home. I didn’t add cream but the taste came out pretty good. And we had this without much of guilt
