In my last India trip I visited a restaurant. Whenever I visit restaurants I tend to look for Spinach and Paneer based recipes. My kids love it. So wanted to look for any new dish. This is the dish I found during my last trip and it was so rich. From the first bite I knew my kids would love it. I cannot wait to get back anf try. It came out pretty well and as I was expecting, my kids loved it. I bet this is one of the very simple paneer recipe
