Top 10 Paneer Recipes

Every thing about Top 10 Paneer Recipes | Vahrehvah :

Paneer is one of my most favorite dish and obviously it should be yours too. Many of us love paneer mainly for its versatility, soft, cheesy and chewy texture. The flexibility of paneer never ceases to amaze most of us as it absorbs flavors well and is easy and fast to cook. Paneer also happens to be one of the easiest homemade cheeses as it’s easy to make and just requires milk and lemon juice.

Basically paneer is an Indian cheese with a slightly chewy texture and mild flavors very similar to queso blanco. It holds its shape well and doesn’t melt while sautéing, frying or cooking. It is a very popular ingredient extensively used in various north Indian delicacies and of course it a must for classic Indian dishes like Korma and palak (palak paneer – paneer cooked in spinach gravy).

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. Paneer can be made into lip-smacking, explicit salads, snacks, added in various curries/ gravies that is worthy to get a connoisseur’s attention and ask for more.
