Paneer with Curd...

Dishes made of paneer or Cottage cheese are very popular vegetarian dishes in India. It can be cooked in many ways. The most popular version is with green peas, carrot, beans, cauliflower pieces, broccoli and other spices. This preparation is very delicious. Paneer can be eaten instead of fish or other protein rich food.

Here is a very easy version of paneer preparation.

Cut the paneer (take 500 gm of paneer) into very small pieces and fried a little in white oil. Mix it up with plain curd (take 750 gm of plain curd), add a little salt and sugar (as per your choice). Now take a thick bottomed pan, add one teaspoon oil and put it on the flame. After a while add a pinch of black mustard seed, 2-3 dried red chili, and 5-6 curry leaves. Now pour this oil with all those spices into that curd-paneer mixture. Let it cool and serve after keeping it 1-2 hour in refrigerator covered with a lid.
