              Paneer Jalfrezi is a colorful, healthy Indian Vegetarian dish and a classic among paneer recipes. A low calorie paneer dish that has contrasting textures with melt in the mouth paneer  and the bell peppers provide a flavorful crunch. It makes a wonderful side dish with rotis. There are a few variations to Paneer Jalfrezi recipe but this one I prefer to  make often.
