Description
Paneer Fresh Indian Cheese - 500 g
Paneer is a traditional fresh cheese originating from Indian cuisine, made by coagulating pasteurized milk with citric acid as an acidity regulator. The result is a compact, white cheese with a firm consistency that differs from many European cheese types by not melting when heated. This property makes it particularly suitable for hot dishes where the cheese needs to retain its shape. Paneer is widely used in Indian cuisine and is included in popular dishes such as palak paneer, paneer tikka masala, and butter paneer, but can also be used in homemade curries, wraps, and salads. The cheese can be prepared in many ways – it can be cut into cubes and pan-fried until golden, grilled directly, or added to sauces and stews towards the end of cooking. Its taste is mild and slightly tangy, making it ideal for absorbing spices and marinades. The texture is firm and slightly rubbery, but softens during cooking without falling apart. Paneer is a protein-rich dairy cheese with a protein content of 18.3 g per 100 g, making it a nutritious choice for vegetarian meals. The product should be stored at a maximum of 5-7 °C and used within a few days of opening to ensure optimal freshness and quality. The package weighs 500 g and is suitable for both everyday cooking and larger gatherings. Fresh Indian cheese, vegetarian cooking cheese, paneer for curry, protein-rich vegetarian ingredient, and Indian frying cheese are all relevant search terms for this product. Paneer appeals to vegetarians, food enthusiasts interested in Asian and Indian cuisine, and consumers seeking a versatile and protein-rich dairy ingredient.
