Yes, it is the same paneer (a kind of Indian soft unaged cheese) that is used in palak paneer (a spinach + paneer dish with spices and masalas), which I agree is delicious when made well.

It's like a comfort food because you feel good after eating it, for some reason, not sure why.

But it is a main dish, not a desert :) It is eaten with either chapatis or rotis or naans or rice, mostly.

Not sure how you thought it was that, since it is not sweet, rather it is savory.

It is a dish from Punjabi or North Indian cuisine, whic is one of my favorite cuisines. I like many other regional Indian cuisines too, as well as some from other countries. Unfortunately in Indian restaurants, you don't get many options of ethnic, regional Indian foods, although that is slowly changing, but then again, some of it is the chi-chi and overpriced kind.



My apologies, I was thinking of gulab jamun! Totally different dish, I spaced out on recalling the name.


No problem, it happens to us all :)
