Oooooh you lucky peeps… today I am sharing another one of Punjabi Mama’s legendary recipes!!!

There are many variations to the North Indian Muttar Paneer recipe… some serve it with lots of gravy but this amazing family recipe is more dry-style and enjoyed with rotis (or naan bread). It has become a staple in our home…. the kiddos love it rolled up in a roti or sometimes with rice.

A deeeeelish, home-style recipe (they are the best), so healthy, super quick, perfect for a busy weeknight and made with mostly pantry ingredients.

Hope you lovely lot give this one a go!!… Would love to hear if you do! X
