Paneer recipes are always a hit with everyone and our home is no different. I do make many Indian paneer recipes like palak paneer, paneer lababdar as side dish for roti or rice. Chole paneer masala is one such easy, no grind paneer recipe that you can make in a jiffy if you can soaked chickpeas handy. As opposed to traditional chole recipe, this chole paneer does not use any chole masala powder. I have used garam masala and coriander powder. You can also use a pinch of amchur for tangy flavor and taste.
