    Going by the method and looking at the photos, this must be tasting really yummyyy.... and paneer being my most fave now that I have turned into a vegetarian, I will surely want to try this out atleast once...
    Mummy loves kasoori methi very much, I wonder why :P but the dishes come out very gud each time. But I don't know why, when I look at the dry kasoori methi, I don't feel like adding them to any of my recipes :D Mummy loves to add that to all her dal items, she says it gives a distinct and a special flavour and smell.
    Keep experimenting Mugdha. All the very best :)

    kasuri methi is really good for your health also. It is not easily available in Seattle, so I get my stock from India :)
