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
Because this is a smaller, 396 Grams size, it is a practical choice for a single meal or two without needing to manage leftover paneer in the freezer. Thawing only what is needed and keeping the rest frozen helps preserve freshness for future cooking. Because this smaller size reduces the risk of unused paneer sitting in the freezer for too long, it works particularly well for households that prefer to always cook with a relatively fresh, recently purchased block. A quick check of the package date helps ensure the best quality when planning a meal. A quick thaw check ensures it is ready exactly when needed.
