Indian Paneer Recipes

Paneer is fresh cottage cheese extensively used in Indian cuisine especially in north India. It is a homemade Indian cheese that is used in making different desserts, appetizers and main course dishes. Paneer is very versatile, soft and blends well with creamy sauces. It is usually served as an appetizer or accompaniment to a main course. It is moist and has soft crumbly texture. It is a rich source of milk protein often used in making awesome delicacies such as Sandesh, Rasgulla, Mattar paneer etc.

Paneer is slightly chewy consistency and mild flavour. It hold its shape well and doesn’t melt, hence you can sauté it, grill or crumble/ grate and just do about anything to add in your dishes. Paneer also happens to be one of the easiest cheeses to make at home, requiring nothing more than milk and lemon juice.

Paneer is one of the rich source of proteins for most vegetarians and are added to classic Indian dishes like kormas, curries etc. Paneer is the most common South Asian and Persian cheese. It is basically an un-aged, acid set, non-melting farmer cheese made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or other food acid. The texture of paneer is quite similar to the Greek feta cheese.

Paneer is one of those few types of cheese indigenous to the Indian sub-continent and widely used in Indian cuisine, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian cuisine. Paneer is completely lacto-vegetarian and a great source of proteins to the vegans.

Chhena or Chhana is an East Indian variant of Paneer widely eaten in West Bengal, Orissa region of India and also in the neighbouring country of Bangladesh.  Moist and soft crumbly in texture, it is used to make delicacies such as Sandesh, Matter paneer and Rasgulla. It is a rich source of milk protein.

The procedure of making Chhena is similar to paneer but it is not pressed for a long time. In Orissa, the process of making the cheese is same that of ricotta. The milk is boiled, curdled with a small amount of whey and then strained and beaten in cheesecloth. The cheese is kneaded well till it becomes smooth and can be used in any dessert.
