Topic: Paneer starters

[Kashmiri Bob]

Paneer (Asda's own) shallow fried in ghee butter.





Made quite a few starters but this is my favourite so far.


Cobbled together a sort of Manchurian style sauce, with spring onion, finely chopped garlic and ginger, sliced red chilli, Maggi Hot & Sweet, soya sauce, Kashmiri chili powder, lime juice, a little Jalpur GM and MSG.









A really nice and relatively quick/inexpensive starter.  The curly garnish on the right is sliced spring onion soaked in ice-cold water for about 20 minutes.

Seems to be a lot of recipes for paneer involving a batter.  Not so sure about this for me from a carb content perspective, although apparently paneer and coconut go well together, so this is perhaps an option.  Would change the sauce though.  Thinking wild garlic instead.  The first chance I get will go for a little forage.  I have seen a wild garlic sauce recipe where the chef uses equal amounts of wild garlic and parsley.  The wild garlic for flavour and the parsley for colour.  I am thinking wild garlic/coriander.

Another one I want to try is Butter Paneer.

Butter paneer





Very nice.  Next time I will blitz and sieve the sauce.
