Fat Free Paneer Recipes

I just love the aromatics and flavors of Indian food. Unfortunately, many establishments prepare dishes with generous amounts of ghee or clarified butter, an unwelcome addition for those who are watching their caloric or cholesterol intake. Not wanting to give up the lovely flavors, I've begun to delve into recipes that allow me to prepare my favorite dishes at home. Paneer is easy to prepare and is a staple in many Indian dishes, especially vegetarian entrees and appetizers.
