Desi Tacos for the win
Level up your boring meals with my Kasundi Paneer Phulka Tacos- they’re yummy and super versatile. Desi meals hit home, especially some paneer ki sabzi and roti.
However, the way you eat your food can significantly elevate the experience. My Mexican spin on a dish does just that- the flavours are desi, innovative and exciting all at once.
These spicy and indulgent tacos are perfect for upcoming winter bonfire nights with your friends and family. While I have used paneer, you can use a filling of your liking. The phulkas make this dish light and just right- you’re never overstuffed.
I highly urge you to try this recipe soon as it’s truly something else and mere words fail to express the pleasure a single bite delivers.
