My Paneer Curry !!! My claim to fame!! Yes true.. Im not exaggerating gals.. May be a little :P
This curry actually has placed me on the map of good cook list of my sisters office. She organizes these pot luck and its an instant hit among her trainee's and colleagues. 2 years ago I was organizing a birthday party for my little sister. I was out all day with my friend trying to help her with her wedding preparations .Its was march , Sun was with all its might, sizzling hot . when I reached home it was 5 :30pm and with a bad bad head ache and guest were coming at 8:00pm. I still had to get cold drinks, snacks, ice cream and all the other groceries for dinner.When the Menu was chicken curry, chicken fry, prawns fry, raitha, Peas pullav and chicken biryani (by the way chicken biryani was from outside. I didn't have much time to cook). Then my sister informed that one of the guest was eating only veg . I didn't have much of an option but to cook something quick. Thats when this real quick curry emerged. Guess what not only they liked it. One of the guest called up the next for the recipe . Now thats a huge compliment don't you think???

From then on this paneer curry was always on request list. Thought you can make use of it.
