Most of us know that Paneer is a good source of protein especially for vegetarians who do not get their intake from meat products. Apart from being rich in protein and calcium, paneer is a great source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) — a fatty acid which helps lose weight.
So you should surely include paneer recipes in your diet, if you are on GM diet, low carb diet or any other diet and want to lose weight.
Basically I came up with this recipe, when I was following GM diet.And till now its been 3 times that I was on GM diet. Trust me going for a diet is not an easy task.
It requires a lot of dedication and determination because you are not really having the food of your choice. It wasn’t just the GM diet that I followed but also followed a low carb diet as well. Amongst all of those diet recipes, I liked all the recipes that had paneer in it.
So today I am going to make a recipe called Paneer Tomato Salad which will serve your purpose.
By saying this, what I mean is if you are dieting or not you can make this recipe.
This is very simple and easy to make recipe which does not require too many of ingredients nor it requires too much of work.
