Paneer Jalfrezi (Indian style Paneer/Pepper Stir Fry)

Isn't the weather absolutely gorgeous?Spring is finally in the air and I'm so looking forward to kids playing outside, my beautiful morning walks (that I've ignored for a long time), lots of outdoorsy activities with the family!Glorious days ahead,with the dazzling rays of the sun exposing itself through the windows into your rooms, aah the feeling of being warmed!

My recipe for today promises to do that too.That feeling of warming-up to an unmatched aroma of a medley of spices and flavors that sing a soft tune, a tune of deliciousness!

What are the ingredients, you ask?Well, Paneer with colored peppers stir-fried using curried spices.It can range from mild to hot and very hot depending on your taste.Its very tasty and a quick way of making dishes Indian style without having to spend a long time, which makes for a perfect weeknight meal!Also good for potlucks and gatherings;

• as an appetizer alongside a crusty bread
• as a filling inside a tortilla 
• as a filling inside a puff pastry
• can aslo be served as a main dish
