Indian Cuisine: Paneer Recipes: My Paneer Recipes

Hi guys! This week I am making Paneer Recipes. If any of you don't know what paneer is then this is a treat. Paneer is Indian cottage cheese! It's basically a farmers cheese that can be purchased in an Indian grocery store or easily made at home. Paneer is a cheese that does not melt so it's perfect for lot's of different Paneer Recipes or recipes that require a cheese much like feta or farmers cheese. I find it to be a very versatile product. Most Paneer recipes that I am familiar with come from India. I have been watching many of my favorite Indian cooks on Youtube for months and one of them is owned by a girl named Aditi and her channel is called the eateastindian channel. I was watching this channel week after week as she made different Paneer Recipes. This is how I was introduced to paneer. There are so many Paneer recipes in India that it's mind boggling. I didn't even know that cheese was something used in Indian cuisine until watching the eateastindian channel on Youtube.

I told Aditi that I was going to have to make some paneer recipes of my own. She had been watching my channel and thought that me making some Paneer Recipes would be a great idea. I asked if I should make some traditional Paneer Recipes or should I come up with something on my own. She told me to go ahead and make some of my own Paneer Recipes as the world is full of traditional Indian Paneer Recipes.

So I had to think long and hard this week as to how I would like to prepare my Paneer Recipes. So this week I am going to make a pan seared paneer encrusted with za'atar spice topped with a nice Dijon mustard dill cream sauce. Then I will make a paneer orzo pilaf with oregan, basil, sundried tomatoes, almonds, garlic and shallots. Yum! I will also make a spring vegetable and paneer pasta dish of pan seared paneer mixed into sauteed zucchini, yellow squash, shallots, garlic, tomato along with some herbs and this will either be served on linguine. I am sure these Paneer Recipes will be pleasing to the eye's and palate.

I really struggled a bit this week trying to come up with these Paneer Recipes but it truth after watching videos on how to make paneer and how to make a multitude of Paneer Recipes it has just all come together for me. paneer is a very versatile food and Paneer recipes are just about as endless as the imagination. Just because paneer is a cheese used in India does not mean that this delicious cheese product cannot be used in the recipes of other nations. I have also found that it's cheaper to make paneer cheese or cottage cheese or even Feta cheese at home rather than buying it at the local market. So I hope you enjoy the Paneer recipes and I hope you try them at home and make them your own. Enjoy the video!
