About Paneer

Paneer is unique among all ingredients as it is adaptable to cooking any type of dish and at the same type its taste stands out. Paneer has become a standard staple item in our grocery list and a better replacement for the junk foods.
Paneer is a fresh, non-melting type cheese made by curdling hot milk with lemon juice or vinegar. Paneer – the Indian cottage cheese – is loaded with the goodness of healthy fats and milk proteins, which makes it a great source of nutrition for healthy bones, teeth and skin.
How to make paneer at home
Recipes with paneer starts with how to make paneer at home. Paneer is prepared by adding lemon juice, vinegar or dahi / yogurt to hot milk to separate the curds from the milk. The curdled milk particles are then drained in a cotton cloth by pressing out the water in the curd. The resulting solid is called paneer is then dipped in chilled water for 2–3 hours to get a perfect texture and solid form.

Paneer Dishes were savoured only at hotels during my school days and I crave to have them every weekend from hotels.

Mittu’s Paneer Wish
Mittu is very fond of Paneer and would even eat a paper which is written as paneer in it. Cleverly on one occasion she made a wish to have all the dish in a day with paneer. I made her wish come true as a surprise for her! Before making it, I browsed and found it is not an issue to have paneer all 3 meals of the day and then prepared a balanced menu! It goes like this – Paneer Dosa for breakfast, Paneer Fried Rice with Paneer Butter Masala & Paneer Kheer (which I reserved it for dinner as well) for lunch, Paneer 65 for evening and then Roti / Panner Butter Masala for dinner. She enjoyed it to the core the entire day and cherishes it as one of her best moments with food! Now she will think of how to make it for a week and I am game!
