Dry Tawa Paneer (chinese style)

My weekends are either for cooking something special for the family or for the guest's visits. But I am ready with my rescue recipes always...haha!! And this recipes is one of those! Almost everybody loves Paneer (cottage cheese), so a recipe using paneer is always a no risk option. For this starter recipe I have used tawa (a flat pan) , so there is no need to preheat oven or start the BBQ or any grill. And the marinade also does not require any grinding or cutting. So this recipe is very easy and quick. So, if you have hungry people at home who want "something special today" or unexpected guests, you know what to cook.....:P! Try this recipe and cook the natural way!!! Hope you like it!!
