Another paneer recipe by me! Well, it’s just my all-time favourite and I simply love how it can be used in so many dishes in so many ways. Today, we are making Palak Paneer in a totally different style. The dish is called Sham Savera, because the koftas are dark like evening on the outside and white like morning on the inside. You can break one and see for yourself.
