Paneer, a staple in Indian cuisine, is a versatile and nutritious fresh cheese made by curdling milk with a food acid like lemon juice or vinegar. Known for its soft, creamy texture and mild flavor, paneer is rich in protein, calcium, and healthy fats, making it an excellent option for vegetarians seeking to add more protein to their diet. It contributes to bone health and muscle repair due to its high calcium content. Paneer also contains essential vitamins such as B12 and phosphorus. While it offers numerous health benefits, paneer is calorie-dense and can be high in saturated fats depending on the preparation, warranting moderation for those watching their fat intake. Popular in dishes like paneer tikka and palak paneer, this cheese plays a central role in a variety of flavorful curries and grilled recipes found in Indian and South Asian cooking.
