Paneer Methi

Paneer Methi

The methi (fenugreek leaves) in the recipe of Paneer Methi act as an aromatic herb which gives this dish its flavour. The bitter-sweet methi and the bland paneer complement each other very well. This preparation will pair very well with Chapatis (click here) or Tawa Parathas (click here) or even a chapati made with leftover dal (click here)
