When paneer goes nutty
The nutty paneer sounds crazy but when you take a bite of this snack, you never want it to be finished sooner. No other snack is such tempting other than this. There are two reasons behind this; firstly, paneer is the base which is the most favourite of all, and the other is, this paneer is coated with roasted peanuts that not only give it the crunch but also the nutrition
This is one of the most indulgent snacks from Paneer Paradise. Undoubtedly, paneer is a prominent part of our cuisine and the most popular amongst us especially the kids, and we use it in numerous ways from breakfast to main course dishes
This snack is packed with proteins as both of the main ingredients, Paneer or Cottage cheese and the peanuts provide us essential protein that is necessary for the growth of muscles, hair and the nails
