Paneer Pasanda Recipe: Foodies, here is another paneer recipe, “Paneer Pasanda”. Punjabi dish that is available in every restaurant menu list. This is the time-consuming recipe, so prepare it on special occasions. Gravy is simple to prepare but you can prepare gravy like that of “Paneer Makhani”.

In Paneer makhani, we have to use the generous amount of butter, but in Paneer Pasanda we do not need to add butter. In this blog, I am sharing the easiest way to make the gravy. But you can customize it according to your preference. The main process in this dish is preparing the stuffed paneer sandwich; this recipe is incomplete without it.
