Hi Kz,

U can make yummy milkshake with cottage cheese. It is very good for health becaz it contains plenty of protein.

Cottage cheese Milk Shake

cottage cheese 1 cup
curd/yogurt 2 to 3 teaspoon
sugar 1 or 2 teaspoon
strawberry 2 or 3(for flavour)
ice cubes 2(optional)

Put everything in a benader and add 1/4 cup of water. Blend well.
Have it for breakfast or when ever u want. This is very very tasty one. this recipe is given to me by a professional fittness person. Enjoy!

if you eat eggs, you can make omlette/scrambled eggs by mixing with cottage cheese. blend the cottage cheese and add it to the eggs and mix it properly and cook. Yuo"ll get fluffy eggs.

hi sowmya and svasu_ani,
thanks for the reply !

Paneer as all other dairy products, no doubt, is rich in calcium. But how high is its cholestrol content? Do people needing to keep an eye on thaeir blood cholestrol level need avoid it or take it sparingly?

Thankyou KavithaSenthil. But now i am not liking milkshakes. so if there is anyother way to use up in cooking pls do let me know. i will make the milkshakes for my nephew and other kids as they will enjoy it.

Anju.. Thankyou, i will try adding some in scrambled eggs.

Hi Kz,
Here is something you can try. empty the cottage cheese from its container to a big bowl. measure maida or all purpose flour in the same container and mix it with cottage cheese in the bowl. Add 2 -3 Tbsp of rice flour to it. Cut some onions and green chillies, cilanthro as we do for regular pakodas. Add salt to taste and fry like pakodas. Goes well with mint chutney or just like that.

Bye,
CI.

Thankyou CI. I will try it, i have one doubt in this recipe will it absorb more oil?

Hi,
Anyone has recipe for kadalai urundai(Groundnut balls)? Pls post it if you have.

Hi Kz,
It doesn't absorb too much of oil. Same as regular pakodas. To be on the safer side, you can drain excess oil on paper towels.

Thankyou CI.
