Tawa Paneer

Now that I have my home made pav bhaji masala ( Ain't I cheeky about my home made things! :D ), I thought it was time to try out Tawa Pulao (Rice dish). Thanks to the huge blogosphere, I got to see a lot of our blogger friends put up posts on Tawa Pulao.

And last day, as I was blog hopping I came across Aipi's USMasala , undoubtedly a beautiful one, where I saw the recipe for Tawa Paneer.  So I thought I'll try my hands on her yummy Tawa Paneer recipe and not Pulao. :D

And oh my gosh! Guys, it came out just fantabulous. Mr.A loved it too :) Then what more do I need to know, right?
