Mutter Paneer Tikka Masala | Paneer Gravy with Green Peas| Party Recipes

I started baking again after a long gap and did Vanilla Sponge Cake yesterday..It came out so good and I will post the recipe very soon.Today we shall go with Paneer Tikka Masala cooked along with Green Peas..I have received a request for this recipe from one of my readers :)Paneer is very healthy ingredient which can be included abundantly in Vegetarian meals..But it comes
calorie rich when it is cooked with high fats like ghee,butter,cream..Once in a while you can prepare like this..but when you are planning to include paneer in your weekly diet..please cook it with less fats..

Ok now coming to our recipe..this curry is very rich with tomatoes,cashews,paneer and green peas.It goes very well with naan,roti and also biryani..This Paneer Tikka Masala is going to be little high caloried as you have to fry paneer for Tikka…
