Paneer Mushroom Pie
This pie is for a special occasion, especially if you want to impress guests! It can be made the day before and reheated before serving. It’s decadent and filled with flavor. Making paneer may sound complicated but it is really the simplest cheese to make in house. You almost cannot go wrong making it. The mushrooms cook with the paneer and the chickpea flour, another good source of protein, is there to hold the paneer together. Serve it with a mint chutney and a hearty green salad on the side.

Directions
Step 1
Combine the whole milk, turmeric, black pepper, coriander seeds, and salt and bring to a boil, while frequently stirring so the milk does not scald at the bottom of the pan. Just as the milk comes to a boil, add the vinegar and lower the heat. The milk will split into curds; continue simmering the milk until the liquid is clear and the curds and have risen to the top. Turn the heat off and let the paneer rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid for another use. Gently press the curds to get almost all the liquid out.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the ghee and pop the cumin seeds. Immediately add the sliced mushrooms and salt. Cook the mushrooms until they have cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine the drained paneer with the fenugreek, green chili, yogurt, and chickpea flour and stir until evenly combine
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In the bottom of a greased 7 to 8-inch spring-form pan, spread the mushroom mix evenly to cover the bottom. Top with the paneer mix and spread evenly over the mushrooms. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Take the foil off and continue cooking it for another 10 minutes. The top of the paneer should be golden and puffy.
Step 5
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Flip over onto a serving plate, slice into wedges as needed and garnish with a cluster of fresh herbs.
