Most dairy products are abundantly used in Punjabi cuisine. My family particularly love the punjabi cuisine dishes using paneer as well as chole / chickpeas which can be cooked in many possible way. Starting from Chole Masala, Chole Chaat, Pindi Chole, Peshawari Chole to lots more one can surely enjoy.
