Veg Lasagne with Paneer
by Tarla Dalal
In a small portion, this might be a snack, but have a substantial quantity and it becomes a satiating meal!
Indeed, the Veg Lasagne with Paneer is a self-contained meal as the lasagne sheets play host to a basketful of juicy and crunchy veggies, succulent paneer and a tangy tomato sauce, all of which is bathed in luscious white sauce and coated with grated cheese before baking.
Once the lasagne is golden brown in colour, it is ready to serve. Baking not only cooks the ingredients and melts the cheese, but also boosts their flavours and helps them fuse with one another.
The end-result is a nice, moist, cheesy and flavour-packed dish that can be served as a one-dish meal.
