Methi Mutter Paneer

I always gets excited when i feel like i'm going to come up with a recipe of my own, well, i may have gone to the kitchen to make " something "and may have come out with" something else"...this happens most of the time.This time I really ran out of Veggies and had to make something with what i was left with in my refrigerator. I was sure  that i had to make something with Paneer & Mutter and for sure it would be named " Mutter Paneer ", but i wanted to add something more than the usual , and there i had my Kasuri Methi Packet right in front of me..... & ... Bingo!!!  Now that demands to be named Methi Mutter Paneer.

I am sure to make this curry again and again in near future. This is a  Fat- Free version, it was very thick & creamy , and was great with rotis. My family just loved it, and i was so much satisfied when my little princess had a good portion, and that was really great for me as a mom!!!
