Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store fresh paneer?
Fresh paneer should be refrigerated immediately and used within 2-3 days. Keep it submerged in water in an airtight container, changing the water daily to maintain freshness.
Can I freeze paneer?
Yes, paneer can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in cling film or store in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator before use.
What is the difference between paneer and cheese?
Paneer is a fresh, non-melting Indian cheese made by curdling milk with lemon juice or vinegar. Unlike aged cheeses, paneer has a mild flavour and firm texture that holds its shape when cooked.
Can I use regular butter instead of Indian cooking butter?
