Summary

Yamuna devi dasi

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Recipes Fried

Ingredients

  • 10 oz panir
  • 3 t turmeric
  • 3 t salt
  • 3 T ghee or vegetable oil
  • 1 T finely chopped fresh coriander or parsley leaves
  • 1 lemon or lime

Instructions

1. Make panir and press with a weight for 10 minutes, so that the cheese is firm but quite moist. Cut the cheese into pieces about 4 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1/2 to 1 inch thick.

2. Make a coating for the cheese by mixing the turmeric and salt in a small dish. Press the pieces of moist panir lightly into the mixture one by one to coat both sides. The coating should be thin and even. If the coating is thick, you'll not have enough mixture to go around. Heat a tablespoon of oil or ghee in a frying pan and put in as many pieces of panir as the frying pan will easily hold. Cook them slowly, about 4 or 5 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned and have a thin crust.

3. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and a slice of lemon or lime. Offer to Krsna.
