Paneer

Paneer is a type of fresh cheese that is commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or vinegar, and then straining the resulting curds through a muslin cloth. The cheese is then pressed to remove any excess liquid and to give it a firm texture. Paneer has a mild, slightly sweet taste and a crumbly texture similar to that of firm tofu. It is often used in dishes such as curries, gravies, and stir-fries and is a popular vegetarian protein source in Indian cuisine. Paneer can also be marinated and grilled or added to salads for added texture and flavor.
