Khus raho!!

I saw a programme on TV which had a recipe using Khus and I wanted to try my hand at it!
I had Tofu at home and so thought why not make a paneer dish with a khus gravy.

So, I whipped out my web-enabled phone, opened Google and searched. Tarla Dalal came to my rescue again..well, not her but her fan!!

The result was a lip-smacking, finger-licking dish which everyone loved!!
