Pan Fried Mushroom Paneer

Today was Sunday. My hubby bought night show tickets for Tintin. It happened many a time that owing to making preparation for dinner, we had been late to the movies. Since Tintin was a movie I had been waiting for months to release, I didnt want to miss first few minutes. Hence I wanted to make something simple and easy for dinner that would take less time, yet would taste awesome. With that intent, I concoted Pan Fried Mushroom Paneer that complemented noodles delightfully. Below goes the recipe:
