I am a big fan of paneer. Paneer is high on calcium and high on fat too. So i use it sparingly. See anything we eat in moderation will only do good. Paneer is a good source of proteins along with calcium.The calcium factor makes our bones strong and can reduce joint problems. Holiday season is the time to relish exotic dishes. Paneer kofta sure is exotic.. The kofta melts in your mouth ..and you will love the spicy chillies with sweetness of raisins..
