A new guest chef by the name of Akriti Sharma gave us a great vegetarian recipe for all to try.  This could easily be made vegan by swapping out to a non dairy substitute!

Lets see what she has to say 🙂

A Note from the Chef:

One of the favorite products of vegetarians, paneer made from milk is one of the versatile dairy products. Dishes made from paneer are very famous in the Indian sub-continent. Paneer shawarma is famous in all parts of India. A snack made from paneer (Cottage cheese), spices, wheat flour and wrapped in a roll is a delight to many vegetarian mouths.  A snack which can be enjoyed anytime is very easy to make and can be eaten at any time. Learning to make this delicious recipe will certainly fulfil your hunger of taste as well as the stomach.
