Paneer jhalfrezi is a tasty and colourful dish which can be prepared in just a few minutes. This is a family favourite and cooked at home at least once a week. Using skimmed milk cottage cheese instead of whole milk cottage cheese is a healthier alternative. The protein content is not altered only the fat content is reduced which is advisable for health.
