About Paneer Nachos
Paneer nachos offer a vibrant South Asian twist on a classic snack, blending the rich flavors of paneer with the crunch of tortilla chips and the heat of pepper jack cheese. The paneer is marinated in a mix of bold, aromatic spices like turmeric, chili, and garam masala, infusing the soft cheese with a savory, smoky depth before being cooked. Layered over crispy tortilla chips and topped with melted pepper jack, these nachos create a fusion of flavors that combine the traditional richness of South Asian spices with the zesty, creamy goodness of a Tex-Mex favorite. It’s topped off with tikka masala sauce or salsa and garnished with fresh cilantro for a final burst of flavor.
