About

Paneer is a traditional vegetarian cheese made from cow's or buffalo's milk. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it is an integral part of Indian vegetarian cuisine. It is not aged and doesn't require any fermenting, making it easier to digest than most cheeses. Paneer is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes such as paneer tikka, matar paneer, and shahi paneer.

Line a colander with a clean muslin cloth and pour the curdled milk into it.

Rinse the curdled milk under cold water to remove the lemon flavor.

Gather the corners of the cloth and squeeze out as much water as possible.
