Kadai Paneer gravy

First of all I want to say 2 things to you. First a big 'HI' :) and second I haven't taken step wise pictures for this recipe neither did I do the food styling. I tried this one for yesterday dinner and it came out really well so I wanted to share with you all :D

Yeah... It's been a long gap to my blogging.. almost 3 months, I think so. I have been to India in December and it was a bit long holiday. Visiting family, friends, relatives and all it went so soon that 2 and half months went just like that :( Getting back here to UK is always a hard part after every vacation and the most hardest part is getting back to your normal routine. Seriously!! :-s

Now to Kadai paneer gravy. I have tried kadai paneer dry type so many times but when we are having pulao or rice we want some sauce to go with that. So I started searching for kadai paneer in gravy mode. I came across this recipe in 'Sharmis passion' website. I made a small change in recipe and it came out just as I expected =D>
