Indian Styled Feta Cheese - Ekadasi Paneer Makhani image

Simple, easy, yet delicious. This recipe is especially for Ekadasi, but if you aren't fasting, then add a teaspoon each of garam masala and turmeric as well. The full fat feta cheese/paneer and cream will work as well, just I don't like to see the fat floating in the sauce.
