Paneer Pinwheel Gravy

Paneer Pinwheels is an easy to make and delicious appetizer. You can add these pinwheels to a rich & creamy tomato onion based gravy and it’s going to be scrumptious. Enjoy it with Phulkas, Parathas or Jeera Rice.

I had prepared the Paneer Pinwheels in advance for this recipe.
