In my home, there’s always a debate between non-vegetarian dishes and paneer. Non-vegetarians often claim that paneer falls short when it comes to taste. But today, I have a recipe that proves otherwise—it’s a winner and tastes absolutely delicious.
You must try out my Keto Paneer Makhani. This recipe could be an excellent low-carb option for vegetarian Keto followers, as it could be an excellent everyday meal.
This creamy and velvety dish is perfect for a main course, but it also pairs well with a side dish. This restaurant-style Paneer Makhani recipe is an all-time favorite in my home, loved by both my Keto and Non-Keto family members.
It’s super quick to make and tastes incredibly delicious. I bet that after you try it, no Indian-themed celebration of yours would be complete without this cheesy delight. So, let’s dive into the recipe.
