Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g paneer firm, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt thick and creamy
  • 2 tbsp honey optional, for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup almonds toasted and chopped, for crunch
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for pan-frying paneer
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed, for brightness
  • a few leaves fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • non-stick pan
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the paneer cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning gently, until they are golden and slightly crispy on all sides. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, scoop the Greek yogurt and stir in a pinch of salt along with a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and slightly tangy.
  3. Once the paneer has cooled a bit, gently fold the warm cubes into the yogurt mixture, ensuring each piece is coated in the tangy, creamy base.
  4. Toast the chopped almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Transfer the yogurt and paneer mixture to serving bowls. Drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness and sprinkle with toasted almonds, chopped cilantro, and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
  6. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if you like, and serve immediately to enjoy the warm paneer contrasted with the cool, creamy yogurt. Enjoy this nourishing, flavor-packed bowl for a quick, satisfying breakfast.
