PANEER MINT GRAVY | PANEER MINT MASALA | PUDINA GRAVY

Paneer Mint gravy, will be really refreshing with the domination of Mint flavour. When we think of Paneer side dish recipes, we always relish on  paneer butter masala/ Paneer tikka/ Paneer kofta etc. But, this tastes totally different. Here, we use Paneer/ cottage cheese, mint along with badam and cashews to give thickness with other masalas. Sambhar powder which is used here can be replaced with green chilly also.

Mint has a natural bitterness, so milk is added to compensate it. If soaking badam and cashews is done earlier, this recipe can be done in quick time. The aroma is so good and sure to increase our appetite. See blog for
