The combination of onion-green chilli-ginger paste with coconut milk makes paneer in coconut gravy taste like a variety of keralite-stew.
It goes well with roti and rice, and is very comforting if served hot, with a generous sprinkling of coriander, on a cold winter’s day!

My Dadi always been after me to have 3-4 almonds, Cashews, Raisins, walnut in morning before going to school. That time i hate having this nuts everyday. Dadi was very conscious about my health... she want me to be healthier and fit. Glancing through almond benefits, Dadi knew all this benefits and because of her i am fit and fine. Good knowledge provided here on Tarla Dalal.
