Achari Paneer

I love to prepare this recipe because it is so quick and flavorful to satisfy my tastebuds really well. I keep Panch phoron premixed for many of my other recipes. Panch phoron is basically mix of some whole seeds such as Mustard, Cumin, Fennel, Nigella, and Fenugreek (Panch means five). You can then use this to flavor Potato and Daal even. At the end of this post, you can watch other videos to learn more about this yummy dish. I love to prepare Achari Paneer Tikka Wraps aka Kati Rolls or Frankie.
