When paneer is made from milk, the water that remains behind is whey protein. People usually throw it but you can drink for your dose of protein.

Can we eat paneer daily?

Yes. It is good to eat paneer every day, provided the intake is moderate. However, people who do a lot of weight training at the gym need a lot of energy and the right amount of protein. So, an approximate 100gm of paneer per day won’t hurt, provided you have an active lifestyle.

Apart from protein, paneer is also rich in fat, iron, calcium and magnesium, which makes it an even healthier choice.

It also makes a great, soft filling for samosas or other wraps, with veggies or just on its own. Only rule of thumb to remember is that paneer works best when it has some spiciness around it. I have tried to crumble it on pizza or flatbread with some za’atar. Marinade it well and use as sandwich filling or in salads.

The good news is that paneer is easy to freeze. If you’re freezing a whole block, wrap it in clingfilm and then tin foil, to prevent freezer burn. Frozen paneer is good for around six months. To defrost, put your frozen paneer in a ziplock bag and into a bowl of warm water.

Can paneer melt?

Paneer is a fresh, unsalted white cheese. Because it won’t melt like other cheeses, chunks of it can be stirred into soups or curries and remain intact. It is a star ingredient in some of my favourite dishes like saag paneer (spinach), shahi paneer (cream, tomatoes and spices), and mattar paneer (peas and tomatoes).
