SpiceCraft kit for vegetarians

Paneer Makhani or Vegetable Makhani

The SpiceCraft Butter Chicken Kit can be used to make a sensational vegetarian curry that will have even the meat eaters coming back for seconds. Traditionally the chicken is replaced with Indian cottage cheese called paneer; but you can use baby potatoes, cauliflower or sweet potatoes with great results.

The basic recipe for all substitutes is the same - cut up the paneer/veggies into chunks, prepare a marinade using the pack from the kit combined with some yogurt, marinade the paneer/veggies, chill for a bit and then grill.

Once the paneer/veggies are nicely grilled, use in place of the chicken as per instructions in the included recipe book.
