Paneer Tawa Masala

I use to always admire  the way these tawa dishes were served in parties  ,the veggies sauteed with spices and tossed in gravy just before serving use to tempt me but I never tasted it until recently I happened to try bhindi tawa  masala by chance in a party and I absolutely loved it.  I gave it a try with assorted veggies and it turned out very well so today tried making  it with paneer. It turned out to be a great hit.
I have added capsicum you could add baby corns and mushrooms as well .It's  a simple and easy recipe which goes well with rotis/rice/naan.Do give it a try.
