NOTES :
1) Use good quality paneer to give soft texture.
2) Butter is very important so be generous in adding butter ( forget about calories and enjoy).
3) Don’t skip kassori methi as it gives perfect restaurant style taste and perfection.
4) You can add fresh cream instead of Milk , as the gravy is already full of calories I don’t want to add more so I skipped fresh cream and added milk.Milk gives more or less same similar taste as fresh cream does , But for fine silky and a sweet touch you need to add fresh cream only .The choice is purely yours!!
5) In case if you are adding fresh cream , add it after removing the gravy from heat and give a quick mix.
6) After adding milk don’t boil for more time just 30 seconds is enough.
7) Try it and let me know how it turned it to you.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton.
