Pallipalayam Paneer recipe

Pallipalayam paneer recipe – If you are looking for a non-deep-fried starter for a party, try this recipe Pallipalayam Paneer recipe with step-by-step pictures.

Pallipayalam is a small town in Erode district of Tamilnadu. The original recipe is a non-vegetarian recipe. I have heard about this recipe a lot on many cooking channels and TV shows. The dish is known for its simplicity and taste. Recently during my India trip, I tasted a vegetarian version of this using Paneer. We went to the restaurant with friends and one of our friends recommended trying out this recipe in that restaurant.

We all loved it and the Pallipalayam Paneer tasted so yummy. I decided to try this recipe at home and noted it on my to-do list. I gathered all the ingredients for this, the main key is to use fresh paneer instead of frozen paneer. The paneer should be super soft and not hard. I have seen some people use Mushrooms instead of paneer.

Pallipalayam Paneer recipe is a simple dish with easily available ingredients at home, pairs well with chapati or dosai too. Also check out other interesting Paneer recipe, Chili paneer, Paneer kheer, Paneer biryani.
