Chana/Paneer
Paneer is prepared from milk and it is used to make a wide-range of dishes – both sweet dishes and side dishes for chapathis. It’s used by Bengalis to make sweets while North-Indians prepare side dishes from Paneer. Though it’s quite new to south Indian territory, it is widely popular nowadays. Apart from preparing typical north Indian curries like Paneer Butter Masala and Kadai Paneer, south Indians also prepare Paneer dosa, Paneer Biryani etc. Paneer is indeed a tasty vegetarian dish.
