Keto Butter Paneer Bites: A Delicious Low-Carb Treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces paneer, diced
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger and garlic
- 1 teaspoon Indian spice blend
- 1 teaspoon yellow turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 cup thick cream
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by heating ghee in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once melted, introduce the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about a minute until aromatic.
- Next, sprinkle in the Indian spice blend, yellow turmeric, cayenne pepper, and coriander powder. Stir the mixture continuously for an additional minute to enhance the flavors of the spices.
- Carefully add the diced paneer to the pan, gently folding it into the spice mixture. Allow it to cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally until they achieve a lovely golden hue.
- Lower the heat and pour in the thick cream, mixing thoroughly. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and envelop the paneer.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt to your liking, and finish by garnishing with fresh mint before serving.
Notes
- For an extra kick, feel free to add more cayenne pepper or toss in some finely chopped green chili.
- If you’re looking for a plant-based alternative, swap the paneer for tofu, making sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
