Paneer is a type of fresh cheese that can be made easily at home. Paneer has a milky flavor on its own, so it taste best when paired with strong spicy flavor like curries or tikka. This is a cheese that won’t melt like mozzarella or cheddar will. We can add them on any curry, or crumble them into flat breads like roti. Or even add them to kebabs and the cheese will keep its shape and chewy texture. Anything with paneer is a definite win. The texture of paneer is similar to greek feta which is prepared in a similar manner. When there is guest over and I wanted to do vegetarian dishes, I will make it a point to do atleast one paneer dish . It goes well with any kind of pulao, jeera rice, naan,roti or any kind of bread you fancy. Tofu(bean curd) made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It is a healthy version of paneer and very amenable, versatile ingredient and a very light version to be paired with sesame, cucumber, capsicum, coconut, garlic and it add a lot of flavors. Vegan note: Replace paneer with tofu, ghee/butter with oil and cream with yogurt.

I like making paneer at home. But sometimes i do buy them outside if I am very indolent. But I am sure home-made paneer is more hygienic and it saves a lot of money as well. Paneer is the star ingredient in some of my favourite north Indian dishes. You need very few ingredients to make paneer at home. if you have milk, lemon juice, pan, strainer and some cheesecloth/normal cloth, you can have fresh paneer cheese at home.Recipe is here.
