Say Cheese.....! With Amul The Taste of INDIA!
Couldn't ever imagined that first attempt of making any recipe will come out that much perfect in Taste, Color and Texture.
Made Lima Beans for the first time with Homemade Cheese. Made it in a little dry form without even boiling lima beans initially. Can be made with store bought Paneer but I preferred to switch it to homemade cheese.
Usually we made cheese with peas or capsicums but wanted to try something new and opted Lima Beans which came out just WOW!
Healthy and Tasty!
