Brinjal paneer and Khatti Dal

RI am always on the cook out for new recipes using the available ingredients. Once upon a time I used to love paneer or Cottage Cheese but then I got bored with it and didn't make any dishes with it for the longest time but now again I like it. So pretty much I have it on hand.
                So this is my latest dish with Paneer. Paneer and Eggplant. I also made Khatti Dal to go with it
