Paneer Paturi is a popular dish cooked in fresh banana leaves which make paneer pieces more flavor full. Other then banana leaves they use mustard leaves to wrap the paneer pieces. Usually this recipe is not only made with paneer but it is very popular with fish and prawns., Paneer is the vegetarian version. I have pan fried this paneer parcels on a pan other then that you can steam this parcels in steamer. So My recipe for P from Bengali cuisine for Journey through the cuisines is Paneer Paturi...
