Kadai paneer

Kadai panner is basic recipe with few roasted spices and sauted onions and capasicum altogether coated with cottage cheese/panner. I wanted to try different so i choose to show variation in masala. Combination of sesame and dry coconut along with listed spices gives nice aroma. While i blend along with onions and tomato the masala turned "Yeah" :). I was so confident about the taste and i quickly packed rotis and kadai paneer for my husband. I waited for full day and while my hubby returned from office i asked how was kadai panner. He smiled and gave his feedback "It was good and there was a touch of chettinad style of masala". I never post the recipe which he gives negative feedback. This time it was "My kadai paneer passed" so im happily sharing my recipe with you all.  I was late in packing box so i could not able to take photograph with more quanity. Later after he went office i shot my kadai panner :(  Next time il shoot without hurry burry. Hope you all like it.  Here for you
