You are always a treat
A vegetarian's muse you are
As versatile you are
Tofu or Paneer
I"ll always choose paneer
Paneer has been my all time favourite.Panner -Indian cottage cheese is a popular and integral part for Indian Cuisine throughout North and South India.Paneer...A white chunky stuff is a versatile dairy product and is used as dessert,snacks or for main course cooking.It is even used for garnishing the delicious dishes.
It is an unaged,acid-set ,non -melting form of cheese made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or other food acid.
In India it is known as paneer,chenna.
Festivals are around the corner.We all Indians want to make interesting and traditional Indian recipes.
As a panner lover, I usually experiment a lot of dishes with it and I present here an array of light and refreshing,rich and hearty dishes that can be prepared using Paneer as main ingredient.
Please try my recipes at your kitchen and share your experiences with me in comments.Happy festivity........
