A World of Indian Dishes
No one does vegetarian food quite like India! The range of homemade cheeses cooked with a dazzling range of vegetables, spices and herbs is wonderful.
So whatever you fancy, whether Paneer Tikka or Paneer Bhurji, you will find it at one of these places. Or perhaps learn how to make Palak Paneer at home? It’s not hard and perhaps make some Paneer Paratha, (cheese bread!) to go with it.
