Re: What else to make with paneer?

Wow, lots of interesting paneer recipes to try -- thanks, diamond321!

Also, for more variety (or when paneer is not available), you can use extra firm tofu the same way. It's not as rich, but then, it's not as rich (could be an advantage or a drawback, depending on your needs.)

Re: What else to make with paneer?

I'm trying to avoid deep-frying stuff, since one of my family members has a bad liver. I'm wondering if I could make the kofte, but instead of deep frying them, spray them lightly with oil (I don't have an oil sprayer, but I could get one) and then bake them in the oven. What do you think? would it work?

Re: What else to make with paneer?

If I were you what I would do is grease a non stick pan and place the koftas in it and cover it and then cook it on low flame .....and also keep on rotating it. Since vegetables are boiled I don't think it will take much time you will just have to cook it a little bit from the outside to give brown colour and to make it firm.

Re: What else to make with paneer?

Paneer is veryyyy easy to make. You bring milk to boil, then add lemon juice or vinegar to it. Then you put a cheese cloth on the strainer and put open the cold water to take the lemon/vinegar taste out of it. Then just close the cloth and squeeze to get rid of the water.
