If you are a lover of Paneer and potatoes then this dish is definitely for you. Very few ingredients complement each other well. This combo just happens to fall into that category. I came to know of this recipe roughly some 6 months ago when a neighbor of mine mentioned this after she returned from Uttar Pradesh. Seems this is an old school recipe followed in the Northern parts of UP and Delhi for many generations. Though she raved about how superb the dish she had no idea of a recipe for it.
. As I had no idea of how it was supposed to look like and be I totally forgot all about it.
Remember the cookbook my SIL lent me from which I cooked this Paneer Gulshan. Surprise when I came upon this recipe in that cookbook. Though I loved the fact that I had the recipe for it now, I was skeptical of the result after going through it and been postponing it from making. And when the boys said that they wanted something different with paneer, I remembered and made this but kept my fingers crossed wondering if they would like it. 
. I need not have worried as they loved it very much.

Wow what a unique dish! Actually I thought it was something to do with Prawns as they are called Jhinga here in Mumbai 🙂 and Sirka means Vinegar, so I thought it was Prawns in Vinegar sauce or something 🙂 I love Paneer & my hubby loves potatoes, so this is a must try for me 🙂
