nawabi paneer - paneer curry with coconut and poppy seeds

nawabi paneer - recipe made with paneer and green peas and coconut and poppy seeds based curry.the recipe is so simple to make and i made this few months back and this will perfectly goes with rice and flat breads.

finally i got sometime to post the recipe and little busy with things and some functions going on.Missing active blogging for past 2 weeks and feel little incomplete without this.So managed to post this recipe very quickly this time.This recipe is adapted from Monsoon spice,there she did not add tomatoes in the curry.Once i saw the recipe,i bookmarked it and made it for dinner along with chapatis.lets move on making the recipe.,

coming to the recipe, you can add red chilli powder but the green chillies along with coriander leaves gives you perfect color and tastes entirely different and more like our South Indian kurma.I added tomatoes just for the color and it came out very well and it does not affect the taste.This can be perfectly goes with biryani and pulao varieties and also with some flat breads too.I really enjoyed this particular recipe as it is very different from other paneer recipes and you does not need any spicier element to make this curry.this is also one of mild recipes i tried so far and i love the addition of pepper powder in the recipe.
