Sounds fantastic, must find somewhere in Swansea that sells poppy seed and cashew paste so that I can give it a try.

Paneer is my all time favourite ingredient.
thank you

Jyoti is Paneer high in cholestrol? Could you use firm tofu instead?. Once in a while I don't mind splurging on the fat but I am scared about some of these products, especially ghee. Once I was making some food and put ghee in a pot on high heat, it took a while for that block of ghee to melt, just imagine that in my arteries.

Sorry the paneer isn't all that bad. Boil milk and add some acid like lemmon juice let the paneer form.....

jyotirmoy is right....I make mine with skim milk and it is wonderful!
