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.

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.
