I am in love with pesto. Whenever I have basil half of it I use to make stock of my tomato sauce for pastas and half for pesto. It gets used up so quickly. Add it to anything and it turns up so good. My family is very fond of paneer, so to give it an interesting twist I made it with pesto this time.
Pesto in simple terms is a chutney of Basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper and lime juice all blended together.
Basil has a very unique taste but if you cant get basil near your place you can buy ready made pesto sauce from supermarket or you can use half coriander and half mint leaves. Of course using coriander & mint option may not taste the same but it will still be unique.
