Paneer is a great way to have the goodness of milk and very versatile.You can make desserts like ‘Rajbhog‘ or ‘Rassogulla‘,dress it in a gravy like ‘Kadai Paneer‘ ,Paneer butter masala or ‘Palak Paneer‘ a main course, or make an appetizer like ‘Kabab‘ or ‘pakode‘ out of it.
There is no better element to work with in veggie cuisine like ‘paneer‘ and potatoes.
