Paneer is a basic kind of non-melting cheese used in Indian cuisine. Apart from lentils, it is a most common source of protein and calcium to the vegetarian Indians. It is made by curdling hot full fat milk with an acidic ingredient like lemon juice, citric acid or vinegar. Later the curdled milk solids are drained to a muslin cloth and then pressed with an heavy object to form paneer blocks. This Non-aged cheese is then cut to cubes and used in many paneer recipes.
