Aloo Paneer is one of the type which is easy and at the same time healthy too.Simple side dish would do the charming.Raita and Pickle is a good choice.I added avocado to the chappati dough and it was yummy and healthy.Adding chat masala gives a nice(chat) flavor to the paratha and goes well with yogurt.
