Paneer Tawa Masala Recipe - Restaurant Style Spicy Paneer Recipe

Paneer Tawa Masala Recipe - Restaurant Style Spicy Paneer Recipe:


Paneer Tawa Masala is a slightly different variation of Paneer Butter Masala recipe. When we buy Paneer from outside, we have more Paneer at home and we could try different Paneer recipes. I wanted to try a new Paneer recipe instead of making the same Paneer Butter Masala again. The main difference in the taste is just because of Ajwain seeds/Omam added in this Paneer Tawa Masala recipe. Moreover, Paneer Tawa Masala is a very simple and quick to make dish for serving with roti and naan. It tastes great with rice too. My kid also liked this Paneer Tawa Masala.
