Methi Malai Paneer Recipe is a famous North Indian dish that is very common in restaurants, parties, and get-togethers. It is a very tasty, aromatic yet easy to make recipe. Bursting with flavors of fresh methi leaves this creamy gravy tastes just awesome. This recipe will win everybody's heart at the dining table and we are sure you will make it again and again.

Did you know- Perhaps common knowledge by now about paneer is a good source of protein especially for vegetarians who do not get their intake from meat products.100g of paneer yields about 18g of protein which is good for people who weight train as they need protein for muscle building and repair.

Cottage cheese contains all the essential amino acids needed for it to qualify as a complete protein. Eat cottage cheese, and you'll boost your intake of calcium and selenium. A single serving of either full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese provides all the selenium you need in a day. 

Serve Methi Malai Paneer Recipe along with Whole Wheat Lachha Paratha, Burani Raita and Kachumber Salad for a weekday meal.
