Paneer Kadai

After trying different cuisines during the holiday season, my taste buds craved for some pure Indian food and what better than the classic Naan, Subzi, Dal and Rice combination.
Normally our curry consists of typical spices in the whole form like chilies, cardamom, cloves etc.However, I tried my version of Paneer Kadai with freshly ground chilies and fresh garlic. Fresh garlic is easily available in the winters and is said to be very good for health.
Add the spice to your diet this winter and remain warm
