Lovely priya,i like panner in any form :)
Too delicious and obviously bookmarked
Love the look when the gravy forms a silky rich coating over the tofus... does adding the cashews and yogurt make it "Shahi"... always wondered what that name meant.
Whenever there is festive season or marriage season around, i get sick of eating paneer but as soon as life is back to monotony,i crave for some .......Nice recipe, much different from what i generally make(fed up of same way of cooking), so wanna try this way :-)
wow tempting dish
