Paneer

Paneer is a fresh, unaged cheese commonly used in Indian cuisine. Made by curdling hot milk with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar, the curds are then drained and pressed to form a solid block. It's soft, mild in flavor, and versatile, often used in dishes like curries, salads, and sandwiches. Paneer is a good source of protein and calcium and does not melt when cooked, making it ideal for sautéing, grilling, or adding to cooked dishes. Its neutral taste allows it to absorb spices and flavors, enhancing a variety of recipes.
