I have always fancied Thai-Cuisine. The frequent Yelp check-in at a near by Thai restaurant proves it to get inspired. The grocery store near by ran out of tofu. The evil mind in me said that there must be a substitute. I opened the fridge and what I found was... Ok the title says it all - Paneer.
This is #LessThan15MinuteRecipe. You will need left over cooked rice to cut down on cooking time ( I had Basmati left overs from yesterday. If you have sticky rice - even better). As the #LazyCookingWithFTG saying goes, Start the timer... 0:00
