Food, glorious food...The way to a man's heart is through his stomach....and so many other clichés that all centre around one of life's necessities - eating. Without exception people aim to ensure you into a truly unique, unforgettable cuisine experience. People combine the ancient with the modern and take you down the path to losing yourself in the exotic flavors of INDIA.
Being Indian I have many favorite main courses dishes, side dishes, sweets, appetizers and many other things. In many of my blogs you will catch me writing about all sorts of delicious food. Delicious to me may mean the total opposite to you. As many people like to think, the color and texture can really throw you off. It is not necessarily true, but that is what the American society has done to our psychological thinking.
Paneer (cottage cheese) is a type of cheese that was originally found in the area that today encompasses Iran, India and Pakistan. It is a high protein food it is often substituted for meat in many vegetarian entrees of Indian cuisine. Paneer is a versatile dairy product, it is used in desserts, snacks or for main course cooking. Paneer is good for the skin as it a source of calcium and protein, but it is also high in fat. If you eat paneer daily then you might increase in your. Paneer can be used with many vegetables, like tomato gravy, muttar(peas), spinach. That is you paneer so delicious. It is high in fat and is great to your taste buds. It is almost like chocolate to Americans maybe better. A cousin of mine has a paneer wedding, where everything on the menu was made of paneer.
Most dishes that consist of paneer are main course dishes of the Punjabi food category. Punjabi food wins over most categories of Indian food. It is very fattening, but so delicious.
I am Gujarati another northern city in India. Although I am Gujarati and eat Gujarati food almost every day (while at home) I still love the taste of Punjabi food more. It may be because I don’t get the chance to eat it very often or just because I eat Gujarati food almost every day. Overall Indian food is amazingly flavorful and I can almost guarantee anyone with an open mind would love it.
