I had gone for a drive with the wife and while returning back we hopped into the super market. We bough a few colours of capsicum, some paneer, some wafer biscuits and returned back home. The wife improvised an ice-cream with the wafer biscuit and I decided to prepare Chili Paneer and Parantga.
Paneer is to the vegeterians what Chicken is to the non-vegs.I know it sounds cliche but we decided to go vegetarian this Friday.
