Paneer handi recipe

PANEER HANDI

Handi paneer is a delicious and creamy gravy cooked in a handi. A handi is a type of a pot used in Indian cooking which has a shallow depth and a wide bottom. If you do not have a handi, then you can still make paneer handi in a pan or a kadai (wok).

A handi is a deep, wide-mouthed cooking vessel, originating from the  indian sub continent , used in north india , pakistan and bangladesh  cooking.
