ABOUT Lobia Paneer RECIPE

Paneer is one of the most popular food ingredients in North India. It is fresh cheese known as Indian cottage cheese. Its unique milky flavour makes it one of the essential ingredients in eastern India to prepare a variety of sweets like ras malai, Rasgulla, chum-chum, Sandesh etc. And I have adapted this recipe from the cookbook, ‘Paneer Khazana by Neena Puri’
