Methi Mutter with paneer

The sunday was a little busy as I was totally occupied with my school reunion. This all made up my day and I just gave up a thought of doing anything in the evening.The teachers' who taught us, Sanju's batatvada, the Pratharna(Prayer), Buva's shop at the corner  where we spent the entire 'madhali sutti' eating badishep,tamarind, gooseberry, raw mango......I was thoroughly enjoying the journey to the flashback....Three cheers for BALMOHAN!!!

I came home and was finding it difficult to come out of that nostalgia &  could not do the grocery shopping. So Monday morning was experimented with some methi leaves, some green peas and frozen paneer which was there in my refrigerator.
