India is obsessed with paneer, and we cannot disagree on this. Made up by heating and curdling milk using vinegar or lime juice or other acidic food, paneer is a true delight. But did you know that the acid used to curd the milk determines paneer’s flavours? Yes. Paneer is used in ample dishes, and we love each and every dish. Isn’t it?
Apart from being a signature food for vegetarians, paneer also holds many nutritional values. It is high in protein and contains a rich amount of calcium, selenium as well as potassium. Thus, it can be a good option for a healthy vegetarian diet. Since the festive season is here, we decided to help you in getting over paneer ki sabji varieties and know more about paneer desserts. Excited? Here you go!
Paneer Kheer
Paneer Kheer is a beautiful concoction of paneer, milk, flavoured cardamom powder, saffron, and rose water. Rose water gives it a beautiful fragrance while saffron attributes to its great colour. It could be the perfect dessert that you can serve to your guests if you are bored of regular rice kheer.
Paneer Halwa
Paneer halwa will make you forget all your worries, believe me. This unique halwa is a delicious blend of paneer, milk, sugar, and dry fruits/nuts. This creamy white-coloured dessert not only looks tempting but is also mouth-watering. Do try it the next time.
