👩🍳How to make potato paneer salad with peanuts?
Thoroughly wash all vegetables and paneer (cottage cheese). Boil the potatoes and let them cool before peeling. Dice the potatoes, vegetables, and paneer into your preferred size.
In a bowl, add diced potatoes and paneer cubes. Add onion, cucumber, roasted nuts, black pepper, and salt. Drizzle fresh lemon juice and olive oil over the salad. Toss everything gently so the paneer cubes remain intact.
