About this Recipe
Paneer is a fresh acid-set cheese made from cow or buffalo milk that is popular in the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). It is a non-melting, soft cheese made by curdling milk with a fruit or vegetable-derived acid, such as lemon juice. Before pressing, the acid-set form (curd) is known as chhena.
Who invented paneer curry?
The sauce for this dish was invented in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi by mixing fresh butter into a tomato-based curry.

Paneer :
Paneer has a mild, milky flavour and a dense crumbly texture that complements the strong spicy flavours found in many traditional Indian dishes. Because it does not melt like other cheeses, it can be stirred into soups or curries and stay intact.
Garam Masala Powder:
The whole spices in the Garam Masala blend have already been toasted before being ground. As a result, it is not necessary to cook it. If the garam masala is added too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require only a small amount of heat to release their aroma and flavours.
Tomatoes:
Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. Tomato flavour is also known as classic tomato flavour; or old-fashioned tomato flavour in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.

Hi Aarthi
I do follow and try your recipes and your tips on different things in the kitchen.. They are good.
I am reading a lot about use of raw turmeric and mango ginger as they are very good for health.
Could you please post recipes on how to use them.
Read about making pickles using them.. Can u please post a tried and tested recipe for pickle. Doubt.. Like how we saute mango or lemon for instant pickle or carrot or vegetables or fry fish (kerala style) can we saute raw turmeric.. Will there be any change in taste or do we lose its nutrients.
Could u please clarify and help
Thanks
