So darlings. It is always fun to try something innovative, especially when it comes to making my popularity high with people around me. After all, I have a reputation to protect. No, I don’t mean one as a heartbreaker (though even that is true *blush blush*), but one as an innovative cook.So this dish has been passed down from generation to generation. Ohk so in this case, I was given the recipe by my younger sister. At least it passed the generation tag. Humph. In any case, I decided to make use of the perfect opportunity of having friends come home and try out this recipe.
Ok fine, so it did take me an hour to make out these fashionable paneer cigars, but trust me, even I have not seen my *sophisticated* group of friends fight over a dish as they did over my cigars. It was definitely a sight to behold. So sweeties, try out this absolutely awesome recipe and become my slave forever!!
