  3. Marken Deutschland Butter is just the cheapest butter. It's not ghee. Ghee is Butterschmalz and the one found in kaufland and Netto tastes close to our ghee. Other brand Butterschmalz are half processed Butter. Hope this helps.

    1. Paneer you get in Indian Store. Replacement is TOFU

    2. Absolutely not. Please either use Halloumi or Grillkäse. If you want to make paneer bhurji, use hard Halloumi
