PANEER MAKHNI IN GRILLED RED BELL PEPPER CUPS

It is celebration time for me as I have completed my first year on a food group. My passion for cooking has become more intense and interesting since I embarked on this beautiful journey on this food group.

I have learnt and shared a lot. Made new friends who share the same passion and interest and have their own unique style and talent. Inspite of various talents and expertise they share,guide,support and encourage selflessly. I am glad to be a part of this group.

My learning journey continues in pursuit of gaining knowledge everyday.

I would like to share Paneer Makhni in Grilled Red Bell Pepper in my style.
