Want to recreate one of your favourite take aways at home and at the same time keep it healthy? then this paneer jalfrezi is the perfect recipe for you. Replace the paneer with sliced up boiled potatoes or slices of cooked chicken, anything you want to add to it and change it to your taste. Serves 4

  1. Loved this recipe!! I am new to cooking Indian food and am loving learning from your website and YouTube.
    I enjoy that lots of recipes are vegetarian and also the use of spices and garlic + ginger, which are excellent for the immune system.
