# Paneer Cutlet Recipe - How to Make Paneer Cutlets Recipe for Evening Snack

Paneer is a hot favourite in the Edible Garden household and pretty much any recipe with Paneer is welcomed happily. While **[palak paneer](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/palak-paneer-recipe-spinach-paneer.html)** is TH's go-to paneer dish, I also **[prepare paneer butter masala](https://www.cookingandme.com/2009/10/paneer-butter-masala-restaurant-style.html)** and **[paneer jalfrezi](https://www.cookingandme.com/2014/02/paneer-jalfrezi-paneer-jalfrezi-recipe.html)** at home quite regularly.

August is a nice month for a number of reasons. It's my b'day month for one and although I am turning 30 this year and bidding farewell to my 20s, I am doing it cheerfully. The past decade has been mixed but at the end of it, I feel it was largely positive.![](http://www.ventunotech.com/beacon/vtpixel.gif?pid=1062&pixelfrom=jp)

TH is planning a special day and while we will be staying put in Singapore, it's going to be spent outside, according to him. I have asked that I want to see a movie but apart from that, all other planning is his.
