This absolutely delicious... Paneer Tikka Masala
Paneer Tikka Masala, marinated and grilled paneer in rich-creamy gravy. Sathya and I, both fall in love with any dish instantly knowing it has paneer and each time we go to any Indian restaurant, it’s very hard to pick anything else.

Gobi Paratha
Gobi Paratha, Mildly spiced Cauliflower and cilantro stuffed paratha, a type of Indian bread.
Is there any one who doesn’t love stuffed paratha? I doubt!

Even at my place, so many varieties of paratha are made, hoping to write more posts with other stuffing... Rajma, Red Kidney beans curry
