Lahsooni Methi Panee
A perfect combination of great food that is also healthy and nutritious, Lahsooni Methi Paneer or garlic flavored cottage cheese cooked in a yoghurt based gravy, makes for a quick and light lunch especially on days when there just isn’t time to cook something elaborate.
Originally from Punjabi, this dish is now prepared across India and South Asia, with spices adjusted to suit individual tastes. The gravy can even be made low cal or vegan by replacing paneer with tofu.
