Hi and a very good day ahead guys. It’s been a bit of gap that I have posted any recipes. The reason is that my mom-in –law has come to stay with us for couple of weeks. It’s a belief that rarely does daughter in laws get along with mom in laws. But ours is an exception. Both of us share a good understandings and common likings. That makes everything easier.
Since she is here I like to make dishes of her choice and taste. She likes to eat capsicum vegetable so i decided to make it for her. usually I make capsicum with gram flour(besan) or potataoes.but since mom in law is having her doses of ayurvedic medicines she cannot have either potatoes or besan.Hence I tried to make paneer and capsicum combination.
When the subzi was ready, she loved it and hubby dear also enjoyed it. Well it was like well done bahu!!...
So here is the easy and tasty paneer capsicum recipe.
