    This is my favorite recipe of all time (and I cook A LOT). Don't even think about trying to short cut it and use canned tomatoes. It doesn't compare. Follow the recipe exactly and you will NOT be disappointed!

    Shahi Paneer’s recipe seems easier! Let me try it out for night dinner as the main course with roti! I would grab the best fresh paneer in Chennai and would add rich texture to this Shahi!
