Paneer Pista Hariyali



This is one of those dishes that I tried when I first bought a microwave in India. And it turned out great. I gave all credit to my microwave forgetting that its actually the ingredients that matter. Whether you use a microwave or a stove, the results would be the same. So irrespective of whether you use a microwave for elaborate cooking or not, try this out and you will be amazed by this new feel and taste of paneer.
