About Paneer chettinad

Paneer Chettinad is a flavorful dish rooted in the Chettinad cuisine of Tamil Nadu, India, known for its robust spices and aromatic blends. This dish features paneer cubes simmered in a rich, spicy gravy made with tomatoes, onions, coconut, and a medley of traditional Chettinad spices such as star anise, cinnamon, fennel, and dried red chilies. Packed with protein from paneer (Indian cottage cheese), it is a vegetarian-friendly option that offers calcium and essential nutrients. The dish also includes healthy fats from coconut, but its high-calorie content due to paneer and oil makes it best enjoyed in moderation. Paneer Chettinad is a treat for spice lovers and pairs beautifully with rice or Indian breads like naan or paratha. While indulgent, balancing it with lighter sides and controlling portion sizes can help maximize its nutritional benefits.
