Steamed Paneer
The paneer absorbs the tangy mustard flavor brilliantly. I was amazed at the superb taste and colour, not too sharp nor absolutely bland, but a perfect balance, even those who do not have a taste for mustard will love it. You must try this dish to see how beautifully it’s cooked. No hassles, just put in the ingredients, steam it in an air tight steel container and see the result. It gives the utmost satisfaction watching those happy faces without spending much labor.

Steamed Paneer
Process:
Step 1:
Soak the mustard seeds, poppy seeds, cashew nuts and green chillies in some water with a pinch of salt in the container of your electric mixer grinder for half an hour. Make a smooth paste.
Step 2:
Cut the panner in cubes or in your desired shapes. Now take an airtight steel container and toss in the paneer cubes and all the remaining ingredients along with the paste. Mix well and place the covering lid tightly.
Step 3:
Take water in another large container that much which will remain below the level of the lid of the steel container with the paneer. Place the steel container inside and cover the larger container with a lid.Steamed Paneer
