Paneer butter masala is my most favorite dish among vegetarian food for which I always crave about. I always wanted to try restaurant type paneer butter masala and this recipe has made me to stop ordering from restaurants.

Gulab jamun is one of the famous sweet, dessert from Indian cuisine. The origin of this dessert was at the time of mughal courts where the history says that Persian invaders brought this dish to India. Originally this dish is prepared from freshly curdled milk where as now a day we can find variety of instant powder available in market. This has made preparations much easier. This is the recipe of gulab jamun prepared from Mawa/khoya. One has to be sure about the quality of mawa while preparing jamuns. Other than the instant version I have even tried jamuns from bread. You cannot compare the taste of bread gulab jamun with mawa jamuns as gulab jamuns prepared from mawa is always the best.

A dish made from Paneer/cottage cheese is one of the most loved dishes among vegetarians. We can see at least one dish made of paneer in Indian weddings and during other occasions. This is one of the best substitutes to chicken for vegans. I always prefer making paneer at home than using the store bought. First reason is I find it healthier than the usual preservative s present in the store bought paneer. The second reason is cost wise it is cheaper to prepare at home. Homemade paneer can be stored up to one week. You can prepare many dishes such as Paneer butter masala, Paneer Manchurian, Paneer tikka, Paneer Rogan josh etc. Prep time           Cook time          Total time 1 hr                     12 min               1 hr 12 min Author: Home Chefs Cooking Recipe type: Main Cuisine: Indian Yield: 200 gms Ingredients: Full fat milk 1 ltr Curd 2 tbsp or as required Vinegar regular 1 tbsp Instructions: 1.In a milk pan add full fat milk an
