Gopi Paneer Frozen, 2.5 LB — Fresh-Style Indian Cottage Cheese for Everyday Curries


Product Features
Paneer is a cornerstone ingredient in South Asian vegetarian cooking, and this frozen 2.5 LB block from Gopi offers a convenient, ready-to-use option for households that want fresh-style paneer on hand without needing to make it from scratch. The block is firm enough to hold its shape when cubed for curries yet soft enough to absorb flavor from marinades and gravies. SubziCart.com stocks this staple for South Asian households in the USA who regularly cook paneer-based dishes and want a reliable bulk option in the freezer.


Nutritional Information
Paneer is a well-known source of protein and calcium, making it a popular choice for vegetarians looking to include more protein in their meals. It also contains fat, with the exact amount depending on the milk used in production, and is naturally free of added sugars in its plain form. Because it is a dairy product, those managing lactose intolerance or dairy allergies should take note before including it in meal planning.


Cooking Suggestions
Thaw the paneer in the refrigerator before use, then cube it for classic preparations like paneer butter masala, palak paneer, or kadai paneer, or marinate and grill it for a paneer tikka appetizer. For a softer texture in gravies, briefly soak the cubed paneer in warm water before adding it to the dish. It can also be crumbled and used as a filling for parathas or added to salads for extra protein.


Good to Know
Avoid refreezing paneer once it has been thawed, and instead plan to use the thawed portion within a few days for best texture and flavor. For extra-soft paneer in curries, a brief warm-water soak after cubing can help restore some tenderness lost during freezing. Because the block is fairly large, dividing it into smaller portions and rewrapping tightly for the freezer after the initial thaw can make future meal planning more convenient.
