Here's a dish I've been making constantly because it's so simple and absolutely delicious. Grilled paneer with cauliflower comes together in just 45 minutes total, making it perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something that feels special without the fuss. Both ingredients are budget friendly and packed with protein, and cauliflower is an amazing source of vitamin C and fiber. The paneer gets beautifully charred while staying creamy inside, and the cauliflower becomes tender and slightly caramelized. I love how the fresh cilantro and lime brighten everything up at the end. Trust me, this is one you'll come back to again and again.
