What will we cover?
Ghee is clarified butter that is traditionally used in South Asian, Iranian and Arabic cuisines. It adds a depth of flavour to meals, has a high smoking point and is a highly respected ingredient in many homes around the world. It’s also suitable for people who are lactose intolerant and is high in vitamins and minerals.
Paneer is a fresh and unsalted white cheese with a dense crumbly texture. It pairs with spicy or mild dishes, can be stirred into soups and salads (holding its form!), or grilled and eaten on its own.
