  Paneer Shahi Chaman My experiments with paneer don’t seem to end ever, because of the enormous love for it and also because it is my son’s all-time favourite. He would choose paneer over anything I bet! On our recent visit to a downtown restaurant, as usual, he ordered his favourite pick, that is paneer.
