What Is Paneer?
Paneer is a type of Indian cheese made from cow or buffalo milk. Often used in dishes like Palak Paneer, it has a mild, milky flavor and a firm texture. Rich in protein and low in carbs, paneer is a nutritious choice for vegetarians.
Whether store-bought or homemade, paneer offers calcium, vitamins, and a wholesome profile. You can easily find paneer at grocery stores or Asian markets, or try making it at home with just milk and lemon juice.
Paneer Fritters
Combining paneer with green peas, cheese, and eggs, these fritters are a protein-packed delight for vegetarians. Enhanced with curry spices, these fritters are pan-fried to perfection and served with a refreshing cucumber and mint raita.
