About Paneer

Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese that’s soft, mild, and doesn’t melt when heated. It’s made by curdling hot milk with lemon juice or vinegar, then pressing the curds into a firm block. Its neutral flavor allows it to absorb spices and sauces beautifully, making it a staple in Indian dishes like paneer tikka, palak paneer, and butter paneer.

Pairings

Paneer pairs perfectly with spicy curries, vegetables, and flatbreads like naan or roti. It also goes well with ingredients like spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers. For a refreshing twist, it can be added to salads or grilled with herbs.

Funfact:Paneer is one of the few cheeses that doesn’t use rennet, making it completely vegetarian. It’s also rich in protein and calcium, which makes it a popular choice for vegetarians in India. Browse All Cheeses →
