What to serve with Malai Paneer?
Typically any Indian bread item as such as Naan, Laccha Paratha, Missi roti, or simple ghee lagi roti goes with paneer items . However, you can always try to have rice items with it . Jeera rice will be the best apart from ghee rice.
Can we store it in the refrigerator?
Since this recipe uses lots of milk products I won’t suggest storing it for more than 3 days. If you are having a Party then prepare this dish one day in advance . After sitting one day in the refrigerator this dish tastes awesome and quite rich in taste.
