Keto Paneer Steaks In Cafreal Masala#Foodieextravaganza

Many of the traditional Goan spices and masalas can be easily used to make delicious vegetarian meal, just use your imagination and create a new recipe to the taste of your palate. You can use the same masala and make it a perfect base to marinade vegetables like mushrooms, brinjal/eggplant etc.

For this recipe I used paneer to replace steak, since I felt like serving something different. This vegetarian steaks can be served as a burger with any keto toasted bread for a complete comfort meal. Adding a fresh salad or cooked vegetables will make a filling and complete meal.
