Hi Namratha,
ReplyDeleteI came across your website while surfing for recipes and tried out the Paneer Peshawari and the Ghee rice and both came out very well. I made minor changes though; I reduced to cream to 1/4 cup and added some Anaheim peppers instead of bell peppers. Nevertheless, I simply followed your recipe and it turned out awesome. Thanks for such a good tasty recipe! You can be sure I will try out some of you other recipes as well.Great job!
