Cooking is always a good way to get to actually eat healthy and in your own taste. As you all know there is a lockdown in many of the countries due to Covid 19. So to stay at home and make a good use of time i gave a task of cooking to my siblings and friends, anything they feel like their way and share the recipe. So here is the 1st recipe by Manish Jangpangi.
Manish is a Banker by profession, stays in Mathura with his wife(Garima) and 6 months old daughter (Ahana). I feel glad that he took out some time for us from his busy schedule, he loved the whole activity and this time he was determined to do it himself, putting his own spin on things, he ended up with some of the best Matar Paneer.
He cooked home style for two people with less use of masala’s.
