Paneer Makhani
Persian and Afghan rulers brought paneer to the people of the north India in the 16th century. They were an immediate hit amongst the vegetarians because of their nutritional value and how energetic they made one feel.
The dish was originated in Delhi in the 1950s by some Punjabis in Moti Mahal restaurant. That’s why the recipe has the inherent Punjabi taste and gravy. The Afghans invaded from the north and were able to introduce paneer to the northern states, and Punjabis quickly adapted to their staple food.
