I was thinking so hard yesterday for dinner ideas. Sometimes it happens, your head go blank and you will be looking for inspiration. I know I had a packet of paneer, so I am sure that it is going to be something using that. Hubby told me to make roti and paneer curry. But I was quite bored to make the same thing again and again. So I decided to use the both and create a new dish.

@Unknowni think u must have over cooked it, so it must have got hard. You have to cook them lightly, so they will retain their softness, since they are very thin
