🧀Paneer🧀

The most appetizing dish in the vegetarian thaali is ‘Paneer’ which claims its position as India’s very own cottage cheese. With its versatility, mild flavor, and rich nutrient value, Paneer is a true delicacy that gets us all cheesy (yes, pun intended!).

It is traditionally made by curdling hot milk using lime juice, vinegar, yogurt, or citric acid which results in a soft, creamy cheese that is firm but doesn’t crumble easily. An easy-to-make cheese alternative, Paneer is used to replace Tofu as well as many other kinds of cheese in most recipes.

Modern Paneer is usually traced back to the Persian and Afghan rulers who introduced it in the 16th century, primarily in North India, where it was made with either goat or sheep rennet. The term ‘Paneer’ comes from the word ‘peynir’, which just means ‘cheese’ in the Turkish and Persian Languages as per MarigoldMaison.
