French Cheese- Serves 4

This is my favorite paneer dish.  I like it because of its uniqueness both in taste and the method of preparation.Many a people may confuse this dish with Shahi or butter paneer, but it not the same. Adding lemon to this, gives it that special tangy taste that i enjoy. A tip to make any paneer dish tasty as mum would say is to follow two simple pointers.

One make sure you dip the paneer in a bowl of hot water for 2-3 minutes before you cut out the slices. This makes the paneer softer.

The second is always to add the paneer pieces right before you are about to serve the dish and thus avoid the reheating process.

As part of one of the last dinners mum made for me by request, this dish was one of them and thus it is and always will be special to me...
