Papa ki pasand challenge Kadai Paneer is one of my father’s most favorite dishes. I learned this recipe from him, watching him cook with so much love and care. Today, I am making it for him as a special surprise. Every spice and every step reminds me of the wonderful moments we spent together in the kitchen.
Heat oil in a kadai. Add onion petals and capsicum, sauté for 2–3 minutes. Remove and keep aside.
In the same kadai, add chopped onion and cook until light golden.
