What is paneer?
Paneer is a mild Indian cheese. It keeps its shape when cooking and holds spices really well, so is great for veggie recipes. It’s widely sold in blocks, but is also really easy to make yourself. All you need is milk, lemon juice and a bit of time. Check out our step-by-step guide to the perfect homemade paneer here.
