The Punk in the Paneeeer

Paneeeer..

Chandan said the Paneer was stir fried a bit before it was mixed with veggies and flavors, and it was the reason why the Paneer wasnt soft to chew. Well he did have a point that Pan Asian cooking doesn't have a softer Paneer to it always, but sitting there I did not wish to be the over critical food connoisseur. Sitting at that beautiful restaurant named Sky Lounge in Bangalore what I knew was that my next task as a food lover was to explore the greatest of Paneers in Mumbai. So, with all my tummy might I have been sniffing around Paneers to find those handful of gourmand dishes. 

Although, I am still not done with finding more Paneer dishes, here are some of the ones which I liked-

Paneer Lifafa, The Ziya - The service and presentation at this place is undoubtedly top notch, but the paneer lifafa is filled with immense Paneer love. Served with rice and Dal Makhani, it does give you a resounding vegetarian fill up! I would want to eat this up more often!

 Sesame Paneer, Riso- This one melts in the mouth in a click, and you want that taste to never end. Drooling right!! Riso although an Italian built, but was shocked to find this wonderfully mari sesame paneer garnished with a tangy mayo-curd mixture. You have to eat this one in a single gulp to have that divine pleasure! Having been to Riso umpteen number of times, the love for this one never fades..

 Chipotle Paneer with Mexican Khichdi, The Spare Kitchen- Happened to visit this place post a good evening at Prithvi Cafe. The place blended up well with the post tea meal and fortunately found my next Paneeer dish! The dish was a great mix of mexican rice and blisfully soft paneer on the top. The tanginess was just about perfect! Paneer indeed is a vegetarians elixir!

Chermoula Grilled Cottage Cheese Steak on Bed of Tomato and Olive Risotto, Ristorante Prego- Now that is quite a name! As exciting and delicious the name sounds, so is the dish in totality. Planned a late evening meal at this place and the motive was to cherish the Artichoke dip with Garlic bread and was hit by this stunning dish, Bamm! The perfectly cooked risotto and the exquisitely placed paneer shall trickle the glutton within you! Catch up on this dish before a great movie and your night shall be glittering an d the tummy shall smirk all night long!

Peri Peri Paneer Pizza, Francesco's Pizzeria - All through junior college I was a great fan of the Mama Mia's Corn and Paneer Pizza! That place still is the most under rated pizza place but that pizza still is the first love. Francesco's Peri Peri Paneer tries to intrude that love with great finesse as it is undoubtedly one of the best Pizza's that I have had! The crispiness, the flavors, the toppings all are just about perfect as the mozzarella clings you to not end the indulgence! (The best pizza that I had is still Gopals from Chandigarh :D -)

I do not wish to stop writing about Paneer here, but I know all the ones reading are drooling enough to eat the dishes mentioned over here. So, I would be having a followup article on the next set of Paneer Dishes. The other dishes which deserve a mention are- 

Dark Sauce Soy Paneer, Thai Pavillion - Anyone who is planning to visit Thai Pavilion, the dish should be on the must have list. The interesting part is this ain't listed on the menu so ask for it and you would thank me for Life!

Pepper Paneer, Vihar Fusion Room- Most people might rate this one as an average dish but this one's very close to my heart for its simplicity and its blendful taste which goes well with the Filter Coffee!

That's about it folks for now! And  you all are welcome ;). Waiting to here from all about other great Paneer Punks!
