Nutty Paneer/ Paneer with Nuts on Diwali

Nutty Paneer/
Paneer with Nuts
Hi Friends,
One more addition to paneer/cottage cheese dishes. I have kaaju wala paneer/cottage cheese in cashew gravy recipe in my blog. Now i have tried this gravy with almonds and peanuts on Diwali. Its a rich gravy based side dish. You can make it more dry or more thick gravy as per your choice. Its a awesome combo of nutty flavor of almonds & peanuts and sweetjuicy flavor of raisins. 
You can make this side for get together and parties also. Keep the ingredients ready like pureed onion tomato, roast dry fruits, powder them and a quick dry dish will be ready next day for party. 
My family liked it a lot. Hope you will also like it.

Notes:-
  1. You can adjust the quantity of almonds and peanuts according to your choice. Increase whatever you like and decrease whatever you would like to taste less.
  2. You can use milk to grind the almonds and peanuts. You can dry roast peanuts almonds if your want to avoid adding fried nuts.
  3. If you dont like munching nuts in the side dish then just skip frying and adding them and make a paste and use it in gravy.
