Paneer is a fresh, non-aged, and non-melting soft cheese common in South Asian cuisine, made by curdling cow or buffalo milk with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar. It is ivory-white with a firm, crumbly yet creamy texture, offering a mild, milky, and slightly acidic flavor that absorbs spices well in dishes like palak paneer or tikka masala.
Key characteristics and details:
- Texture & Taste: Firm, spongy, and dense, it holds its shape during cooking, frying, or grilling, making it an excellent vegetarian protein source.
- Production: Made by boiling milk, adding an acid (lemon juice, citric acid, or yogurt) to separate the curds from the whey, and pressing the curds into a block.
- Versatility: Used in curries, snacks, and sweets; it is popular in dishes like Paneer Tikka or Matar Paneer.
- Nutritional Value: A high-protein and high-fat cheese, with roughly \(26\text{g}\) of protein and \(25\text{g}\) of fat per \(100\text{g}\).
- Shelf Life: Freshly made paneer is best used within a few days, though it can be kept refrigerated for up to a week, often stored in water to keep it soft.
