A new guest chef by the name of Akriti Sharma gave us a great vegetarian recipe for all to try.  This could easily be made vegan by swapping out to a non dairy substitute!

A Note from the Chef:

One of the favorite products of vegetarians, paneer made from milk is one of the versatile dairy products. Dishes made from paneer are very famous in the Indian sub-continent. Paneer shawarma is famous in all parts of India.
