When the word paneer comes up,authentic dishes like paneer butter masala,Kadai paneer,and 

many more flash through our mind.Well,this time I wanted to try with the inclusion of coconut,

and it was a success!As coconut has many health benefits,I think anyone could have this dish.

Most of the ingredients I have used in this recipe are protein rich.This dish can be served with 

chappathis,naan,or any type of rotis.It will be a good combination with hoppers,stringhoppers

and pulaos.

Now let’s get into the recipe ..
