Paneer Pasanda is a rich Punjabi preparation. This has paneer sandwiches, which is filled with mashed paneer, cashews, raisin, mint, coriander and some spices.

Usually, the Stuffed paneer is deep-fried, but I grilled them. It is served in rich tomato and onion based gravy. This dish is rich in protein. Paneer Pasanda tastes best when eaten with Naan, kulcha or Paratha.
