A nutritious and protein-packed treat using paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and lentils, perfect for your cat’s health.

Ingredients:

• 100g paneer (grated)

• 1/4 cup masoor dal (red lentils) (cooked and mashed)

• 1 tbsp ghee or coconut oil

• 1 egg (optional)

• 1 tbsp carrot (grated, optional)

• A pinch of turmeric (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a small pot, cook the masoor dal (red lentils) with enough water until soft and mushy (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and mash them well.
   

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated paneer, mashed lentils, grated carrot (if using), and a pinch of turmeric (if using).
   

3. Add the ghee or coconut oil to the mixture and stir in the egg (if using). This will help bind the mixture into a dough.
   

4. Roll the dough into small balls or flatten them into cookie shapes, based on your cat’s preference.
   

5. Bake the treats at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden and firm.
   

6. Let the treats cool completely before serving.
