Aloo Peas Paneer Masala ~ Side Dish for Chapati / Naan / Poori

Published: · Modified: by · 3 Comments

Sharing is caring!

For this week's Weekend Cooking, it was a delicious gravy made with Aloo, Peas and Paneer. I must say that these three are a great when you put them together. And invariably when served with Naans, they are irresistible. However since we can't always keep making Naans, I only make rotis. Even this is a sure hit. Konda love this and wants it again for lunch as well.
The weekend passed out without much being done. I guess in the longest period, this weekend was the first where I didn't cook anything for the pending posts. My gas cylinder's cap won't budge and we tried out best to open in however way we could think of. But nothing worked. Finally we gave up and managed the Sunday without using gas. The emergency service was not something you can trust at such emergencies of course. So I simply waited for Monday to come. When the service guy came, it was just a 2 sec job. Hearing that I was so frustrated. Anyway that's life...
Coming to the recipe, here's a sure short foolproof recipe that will work great for a packed lunch.
