BM # 12 Day 7
Whenever I cook ,some how there are a few things which have to be either savoury or sweet…I mean I just cant relate Paneer being a sweet…or sweet potato being savoury..wonder why such fixed notions?…and to break this temprament I wanted to create something sweet with paneer.Of course there are these Bengali sweets…but..paneer as such being sweet somehow was a little difficult for me to digest.All the same today I have prepared a Kashmiri sweet called Shufta .This is a rich accompaniment to a Kasmiri party meal.Lots of dry fruits,saffron ,cardamon and paneer ..all in a sweet syrup,which is totally divine.The taste buds refuse to satisfy…wanting more and more…but let me tell you this is served as an equaliser and not as a dessert.Just a teaspoon or so…but I bet any Indian sweet lover will not be able to resist this….check out for yourself…..
1cup ……….assorted dry fruits(you can choose what you like)
Few pieces dry coconut
½ cup…….. diced paneer
