Father's Day Note:
Happy Father's Day! Today's recipe is for my Father. My Father is a protective shield for me and protecting me against all the problems of my life. Thank him for being my strong support in my life. I am away from my country since last 4 years. Last year my father paid a visit to me out of his busy schedule only for me. During his 15 days stay I was so excited and prepared a lot of dishes. He loved all of them and Paneer Baby-corn Bell pepper stir fry is one of his favorites and today I am missing him so much!
