Paneer Mushroom Mixed Veg Curry

There are days when I’m excited to make one gravy and a dry dish along with salad and rice. Then there are days when I wish we all had a magic wand and voila! (That’s why we have mothers or home deliveries). But when you don’t feel up to it, and no one in the house feels like cooking, you’re left with no option but to toil in the kitchen. So I decided to make this one pot dish a.k.a Paneer Mushroom Mixed Veg Curry. Not really one pot, it takes two to make it, but really flavourful, satiating and worth your time. Gather all your ingredients and have them sliced/ diced/ chopped/ pureed and you’re all set to make this Paneer Mushroom Mixed Veg curry.
