Paneer 65 Recipe

Paneer 65 Recipe

Paneer 65 is easy to prepare a snack, very filling to go with tea or coffee. Perfect for get together as a starter.

I have made paneer pakora and chilli paneer dry. This is also a similar one, a combination of both, made in the way of how we make gobi 65. You can marinate and keep refrigerated, make hot when needed. I got these two blocks of paneer during my recent trip to Mustafa and by mistake kept them in the fridge instead of freezing them. So could not freeze it as the pack said once defrosted, don’t freeze again.

Since it was a Sunday, prepared paneer 65. It was heavy and we skipped our dinner. Paneer 65 goes well with fried rice or biryani too. I have cut the paneer as fingers, you can use cubed paneer also or cut it into cubes. Let’s learn how to make paneer 65 with step-by-step pictures and instructions below.
