    I am trying this paneer jalfrezi recipe for first time and loved its simple procedure yet a yummy dish.

    Love it wrapped as Kathi roll, perfect idea for kid’s lunch box/snack box.

    • Paneer jalfrezi method:

    Being paneer my kid’s favourite, this recipe has crunchy carrots, capsicum and beans too in it.

    So make its wholesome when wrapped inside roti I love it because it's tangy. Not bland.

    I have used tomato and tomato puree. If you want to skip grinding to make tomato puree, just replace it with finely chopped tomato.

    Notes

    • Changes I made to the original recipe are,I omitted methi seeds and kalonji seeds(onion seeds) in the tadka part.
    • Also I added roasted methi seeds powder towards the end instead of kasuri methi.
      Original recipe asked for amchur powder,I had no stock so added lemon juice. So if you can get the above items,you can try that too.
