Kadaai Paneer/Paneer Recipes/Kadaai Paneer Recipe/How to make Kadaai Paneer with step by step photos

Since I was born and brought up in South India, paneer was not cooked at home when I was a small kid, we used to have paneer dishes at restaurants and at special occasions. But later on things started to change, we started to make paneer at home and incorporate in many recipes. Now it is so common and my kids also love paneer  I make several paneer dishes referring to books and recipes from friends. This kadai paneer is a very famous and common dish found in almost all the Indian restaurants and my husband’s favourite. check out other interesting and mouthwatering Paneer Recipes here, other North Indian Subjis here.

Crostini with Cherry Tomatoes & Mozzarella/Crostini with Cherry Tomatoes & Mozzarella Cheese with step by step photos

For this month’s IFC challenge we are exploring the Campania cuisine of Italy chosen by Priya Suresh. Campania is a highly populated region in the Southern Italy, located on the Italian Peninsula with the Mediterranean Sea to the West.

Campania’s exuberant cuisine relies on sun-kissed vegetables and herbs, salty capers, dried pasta and fresh farmhouse cheeses, chief among them water buffalo’s Mozzarella. Campania is home to over 80% of Italy’s water buffaloes, so the Campani produce a number of delicious water buffalo’s milk cheeses. For this month’s IFC challenge I chose to do the Corstini with cherry tomatoes & mozzarella. Thanks a lot Mrs. Priya for the wonderful challenge.

A little about “Wheat” – Wheat is a cereal grain originally from the East and Ethiopian Highlands, but now cultivated worldwide. Raw wheat can be ground into flour or using hard durum wheat can be ground into semolina, it is germinated and dried creating malt, crushed or cut into cracked wheat, parboiled, dried, crushed and de-branned into bulgur. Wheat plays a vital role and also a major ingredient in food such as bread, rotis, porridge, crackers, biscuits, pies, cakes etc. So what are you waiting for friends, cook anything with wheat and link it in the linky tool.
