Methi Paneer Recipe with step by step instructions.తెలుగు వెర్షన్.

Methi Chicken is one of our favorite chicken recipes.I heard about the curry but never tried thinking that it would taste bitter.once when we were traveling on the highway, we had this curry in a hotel beside the road.The moment we tasted it we really loved it.The chef prepared the curry with butter, cashew nuts, fresh methi(fenugreek leaves) and boneless chicken.it was really superb.From that day whenever we go on that way, we stop there and have the same food(Methi chicken with phulkas) always.I requested to call the chef out.we greeted him.I asked him the recipe and prepared at home later.posted the recipe also.you can see the link below.

Methi Paneer is the vegetarian version of methi chicken.Ingredients are almost same.The cooking process is also almost the same except marinating the chicken.here for this recipe we need to soak the paneer in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.paneer will turn so soft and absorbs all the flavors perfectly.Otherwise, it may turn a little rubbery and doesn’t absorb the flavors and spices in the curry.fresh fenugreek leaves/methi may not be available all the time.so you can use dried fenugreek leaves instead.This recipe tastes good with puri, chapati, phulkas or vegetable pulao.I hope you try this recipe :).
