But who’s complaining?As long as praise and awards keep coming, bloggers won’t get tired. Isn’t it? This time I came across Susan of foodblogga and immediately started searching for a recipe that would do justice to both the blogs i.e it should be something  calcium -rich- ingredient based and should be the one that is regularly cooked in a Sindhi Kitchen. So finally I  freezed my search on this Paneer dish,which is very popular among sindhis and its calcium rich too.   I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the less known things about “Healthy bones”. Though much is talked about vit D and calcium being the strongest factors for strong bones,very less is talked about some less significant but important elements like magnesium and copper.According to WHFoods ,  an essential component of many enzymes, copper plays a role in a wide range of physiological processes including iron utilization, elimination of free radicals, development of bone and connective tissue.  Copper is also necessary for the activity of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme involved in cross-linking collagen and elastin, both of which provide the ground substance and flexibility in blood vessels, bones and joints. Numerous health problems can develop when copper intake is inadequate, including iron deficiency anemia, ruptured blood vessels, osteoporosis, joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis etc Another element is magnesium which is also vital for healthy bones. About two-thirds of the magnesium in the human body is found in our bones. Some helps give bones their physical structure, while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to draw upon as needed. So if we start dissecting the ingredients for this recipe called”Paneer burji”, we can see that it has Paneer or cottage cheese which is a known calcium rich dairy product (approx 400 mg of calcium per 100 gms of paneer). Secondly cashewnuts (paste /grind-ed/pounded) used here are good source of copper and magnesium …0.76 mg and 89.05 mg respectively, per 35gms of cashew nuts.This recipe also calls for use of milk which again is an excellent source of calcium, approximately 300 mg of calcium per 8 fluid ounces (1 cup). Besides tomatoes, fenugreek leaves also contribute to calcium content of this recipe to certain extent.Well…. if name of butter, milk, cashew paste rings alarming bells in your weight conscious ears, you can omit any of these and this paneer will still taste amazing. Since I m not a certified dietician, I might be wrong in many of my assumptions and calculations and suggestions. I would like susan to review this one and let me know if my findings are inaccurate or irrelevant. Well healthy or not……but one thing I am sure, it does taste heavenly. So enjoy!
