Who will say no to paneer, definitely none at home here, we just love paneer and i dont forget to pick them whenever i'll go to Indian groceries..its quite a routine for me to get them and often do anything with those Indian cheese, weekend i picked a paneer packet and prepared this quick and easy methi channa paneer masala with kasuri methi and cooked channa..This masala was tremendous and its quite easy to prepare, its tastes delicious along with rotis or parathas..Sending this droolworthy masala to Jay's Letz Relishh-Paneer and to my event CWS-Fennel Seeds and to Suma's Sidedishes From India and finally to LB-Chickpeas guest hosted by Nithu, event by Kiran and to Neha's Kid's Menu..
