Paneer Makhani - Divine indulgence

Image
This is my sister-in-law's recipe. She is an amazing cook and whips up these delicious dishes which look and taste as good or better than you would find at any top Indian restaurants. This is a rich dish, originally from the northern regions of India and made during special occasions. The first I had this was at her place when they had their house warming. And then I ABSOLUTELY had to make this for Diwali. So for Diwali, we have a get-together at our place every year and I like to cook mostly at home. I usually make Chole and one other dish. Last year, this was the highlight. Everyone loved it. It is high effort, but totally worth every bit of it. Enjoy!
