Cottage Cheese in Garlic and Cajun spice




People get confuse between Paneer and Cottage cheese but both are different. Paneer is known as farmer cheese and has a much higher content of fat in it. Whereas cottage cheese has a greater content of protein in it and lesser fat than paneer. Paneer become little hard after cooking and cottage cheese remain soft after cooking, but never over cook paneer and cottage cheese.

This dish is very good starter or evening snack.


Preparation Time: 10 minutes   |   Cooking Time: 10 minutes   |   Serves: 4 servings



Ingredients:

  1. Cottage Cheese - 200gm
  2. Cajun spice - 2 spoon
  3. Salt - to taste
  4. Garlic cloves - 5- 6
  5. Red Chilli power - optional
  6. Canola Oil or any other Oil- 2 Tb spoon

Now day cajun spice easily available in market its a mix of 12-13 different spices (you can make is at home as well). For cottage cheese i used Milkana Brand, you can use any other brand which is available easily in market.

Method:

Cut the Cheese in big cubes, marinate with Cajun spice, salt and red chilli powder to taste (if you want this more spicy). Generally Cajun spice has salt and chilli pw but in this KAYA brand salt an chilli pw is very less so i have to put salt an chilli extra. keep this is aside for 1 hour to 1/2 hour.
Or you can make this instant as well if you have less time.

Chopped the garlic keep in side.


Put pan inflame an add 2 tb spoon oil, now day i am using Canola oil but you can use anyother oil. When oil is start heating put marinated cheese cubes, Fry them side by side 1 min each.
When one side cooked add garlic in same pan let it fry.

Both the side cooked now switch off the flame and serve with any favorite mocktail or cocktail.
