I always prefer homemade paneer (or soft Chaana), normally eaten with a spoon of sugar or added on top of sabzis. This time, as it was raining, felt like having Garam garam pakodas and so decided to make a new dish with leftover Chaana. I paired it with an instant recipe Coriander chutney. Everyone loved it so much! Do try!
