Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shredded Indian Marrow
  • 2 tbsp Ghee

Instructions

  • Peel half an Indian Marrow and grate. You'll have approximately one cup grated.

  • Heat the ghee in a frying pan. Add the grated Marrow and sauté about 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, but allow for browning (I personally like the brown, crusty bits!) I think the browning is essential to bring out a really great taste in this gourd. Of course, you loose about 3/4 of the volume.

  • Push the sauteed marrow to one side; on the other side, add the butter and sauteed paneer and cook to heat. Then mix all together, the paneer and marrow.

  • Salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook a minute or so more until all is blended and hot.
  • Push the marrow and paneer together in the pan, as if forming a patty. Sprinkle on the cheese; cover and cook on low another minute or until the cheese has melted on top.

Notes

I like eating this with Keto coleslaw.  The contrasting textures and temperatures, hot & gooey, versus

 cool & crunchy, make for a very enjoyable eating experience.  This combo is an almost perfect keto macro ratio of 5:80:15.
