Paneer In Red Bell Pepper Gravy

Red bell pepper not only gives beautiful color to the gravy but it also gives a little sweet taste, that's why my 5 year old daughter loves it. You can replace milk with water if you don't want rich gravy.

For Variation, you can add mixed vegetable or boiled eggs or tofu instead of paneer. For more delicious paneer recipes please click here
