<p>Paneer is such a staple in my kitchen, but every once in a while, I like to experiment with it and create something a little different. This time, I wanted to bring together the richness of Afghani-style paneer with a fun, bite-sized format — and that’s how these Afghani Paneer Paniyarams came together. ✨â¤ï¸</p>
<p>The filling is creamy, mild, packed with flavor, and made with yogurt, cream, cashew paste, and warm spices. Instead of grilling the paneer like a classic tikka, I tucked it inside a spiced moong dal batter and cooked it slowly in a paniyaram pan until golden on the outside and soft inside.</p>

<p>What I love most about this recipe is the contrast of textures — crisp edges, a soft outer layer, and that rich, creamy paneer center. It’s simple, unique, and perfect for entertaining or when you want to serve paneer in a completely new way.</p>
