I was recently a contestant in the Karoun Dairies Blogger Recipe Challenge. I entered two recipes in the contest: Coconut Gopi Paneer-Grilled Chicken and Spinach Rice and Savory Labne Custard Pastries. Both recipes are new family favorites and filled with traditional Indian flavor. For the recipes, click the links above.
The challenge is over now and winner deliberation is underway. Winners will be announced in just a few weeks so wish me luck!
Leftovers
Each blogger was gifted two of the company's products for testing and recipe creation: Karoun Labne and Gopi Paneer. I made these delightful Gopi Paneer Honey-Rose Pistachio Crisps with some of the leftover Gopi Paneer.
Savory-Sweet Buttery Goodness
Similar to baklava these little crisps are so satisfyingly good! The combination of salty cheese, crunchy phyllo, and rose-infused honey are mouthwateringly good.
Made in Minutes
These buttery crisps are baked in the oven and made in minutes using just a few ingredients: phyllo dough, Gopi paneer, pistachios, honey, butter, and dried rose buds. The flavors are savory-sweet, and the perfect crispy, cheesy bite. I served mine with freshly brewed rose tea...a match made in heaven!
