This is the
north-Indian dish and a very easy recipe. Kadhai Paneer is a very
quick stir fry like recipe which is made in a Kadhai. And thus it got the name
"Kadhai Paneer". This is a very common, tasty and a colorful
recipe. This is great for any get-together Lunches, Dinners, and good for
boxes too. Enjoy the taste of Kadhai Paneer with any Indian Breads. I
prefer Naan or Kulcha.
