pudina paneer recipe - paneer gravy using mint and coriander leaves
pudina paneer recipe - paneer cooked with mint and coriander leaves.another paneer recipe and this one is based on green chutney but the method is little bit different.You did not need any rich ingredients to go with this recipe.The color looks bright green and this is perfectly go with pulao and flat breads.
I saw this recipe in so many blogs but those are cooked with methi leaves or another spinach varieties.So i came up with my own version with spicier version.You need green chillies,ginger,mint leaves and coriander leaves.The coriander leaves balances the flavor of mint leaves in the recipe and also add some extra flavor to the recipe.You need the usual ingredients and spice powders that we use for north indian curries.
Having no time here in my hometown,following facebook and instagram for updates from friends.Enjoyed some kozhukattais and had some fun yesterday and my only sad feeling was no recipe for chaturti in my blog this year.Was busy in home shifting and also in traveling,so did not planned the recipes for both Janmashtami and Chaturti.Posting some recipes from draft till this weekend and will be regular in updating the blog from next week.
Before traveling,we bought pudina and coriander leaves in bulk and forgot about travelling.So that week was full of spicy treats and that week i made pudina pulao,pudina paneer,paneer biryani in a row.My goal was to finish off everything in refrigerator which has less capacity for storing.successfully i made everything and take some shots for blog too.will post one by one and here comes the recipe.,
