Alright here is a recipe that I had to try because it sounded pretty complicated by the looks and taste of it, but this is something my family is used to ordering at the restaurant ... I made some Paneer Butter Masala and it was just a breeze going through this recipe. Now if you don't get panneer (Cottage cheese) you can use Tofu to replace it, that's if you like the taste :) I also used the following measurements because it was my first try, plus this recipe claimed to give you a restaurant taste hehe

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
