Date, Potato & Paneer Weekend Pulav
Sometimes while browsing the internet, I come across recipes that I’d love to try out myself. This was the case with my Date, Potato & Paneer Weekend Pulav. I did not bother to write it down, rather I chose to make my own version of it. It is an easy dish that can be made in minutes. While it’s cooking sit back and relax and serve with a Pachdi and Chicken or Vegetable Curry. Date, Potato & Paneer Weekend Pulav turned out much better than expected and I plan to make it again at one of my classes.
