Paneer
Paneer is a fresh, non-aged cheese that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It’s known for its mild flavour, firm texture, and ability to hold its shape when cooked—making it ideal for curries, grilling, or frying.
Made from cow or buffalo milk, paneer is acid-set, meaning it’s made by curdling milk with lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid—no rennet or starter cultures required.
Paneer is a staple in Indian, Pakistani, Nepali, and Bangladeshi cuisines and is also a great vegetarian protein option. It’s easy to make at home and doesn’t require any aging or complex equipment.
