| A Beautiful steamed Cottage cheese and Peas recipe for Veggie lovers |
Steamed Cottage cheese or Indian paneer is a very quick recipe, which has high protein value. People who can’t eat animal protein cottage cheese is a very good protein food source for them. Though some veggie eaters don't like cottage cheese at all because of its rubber-like texture after cooking. But in this recipe, cottage cheese will be softer than before. I hope this recipe will be loved by those who don't like paneer.
