Hi Maheswari,

Mutter Panner Masala looks awesome.As Ashaji and Supriya said if we grind some onion, we get nice tasty gravy too.

Great recipe ...and i liked the innovative approach to parantha..Avocado paratha.. I also thought since Avocado has fat and has a texture somewhat like Ghee , it might give a good taste to paranta... but was hesitant to try.. Btw how does avocado paratha tastes like

Thanks sushma, avacado parathas doesn't taste much different.It is more softer than the normal ones.

I too makes mutter paneer almost the same way except for khus khus , I add cashews. Urs has turned out very well with lovely colour.Avocado parathas are new to me.

KF said...

Hahaha...I had soaked mutter and planned to make asha'a greenpeas curry,that i tried last week and all enjoyed.So now I changed my mind I will do this..Avacado Partha is really new to me..

I have doubt, are we not supposed to add salt to this curry

Let's say one wanted to make this dish extremely mild...
My fickle italian family doesn't like spicy food in the least bit but I would *love* for them to enjoy this dish the way I do!
What minor things would you do to tweak the recipe to take away the spice? Thank you!

C.O
Thanks for visiting.Since the recipe uses Half n' half it is somewhat mild.If you want reduce some more spicyness, then reduce red chilli powder to 1 tsp and Dania powder to 1/2tsp.Hope your family enjoys the dish as much as we did!
