Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In your food processor, combine crumbled paneer, feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Gradually add more heavy cream for a creamier consistency, blending after each addition.
