Smoky Paneer Kari Pataka
Advertisement
This is healthy main course dish inspired from Rajasthani cuisine. As there are very less dishes with paneer in Rajsthani cuisine. So I am adding one.
There is no thick n heavy gravy, cream etc. This dish is absolutely healthy.

My nose (and, off course, my tongue) have started getting the smoky feel 🙂
Love the way you have used coal and I can imagine the Smokey flavor.
