Curd, Paneer & Ghee for the Bengali Kitchen
Beyond milk, three dairy heroes brighten daily cooking—curd (dahi), paneer, and ghee. Here’s how families in East Medinipur can get the most from each.
Curd (Dahi): Thick, Tangy Goodness
Breakfast & Lunch: Pair with parathas, pulao, or rice for a cooling side.
Raita & Marinades: Whisk with spices for raita; tenderize proteins with curd-based marinades.
Tip: Keep curd chilled and covered; avoid cross-contamination with wet spoons.
Paneer: Soft, Versatile Protein
Quick Sabzis: Paneer capsicum or matar paneer for busy evenings.
Grills & Rolls: Paneer tikka for snacks; paneer kathi rolls for tiffin.
Tip: Store paneer in cold water in the fridge to maintain softness; change water daily.
Ghee: Aroma, Flavour, Tradition
Tadka & Frying: A small spoon of ghee elevates dal, khichuri, even luchi.
Sweets: Essential for halwa, laddoos, and festive recipes.
Tip: Keep ghee airtight and away from heat/light to preserve aroma.
