Best Paneer Recipes for Home Cooking

Fresh paneer makes all the difference in Indian cooking. Here are five favourites our customers love.

1. Palak Paneer

Blanch spinach, blend to a puree, and cook with onions, tomatoes, and spices. Add cubes of fresh paneer at the end.

2. Paneer Tikka

Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt, spices, and lemon. Grill or pan-fry until golden.

3. Paneer Bhurji

Crumble paneer and sauté with onions, tomatoes, green chillies, and coriander. Great with paratha.

4. Shahi Paneer

A rich, creamy tomato-cashew gravy with paneer cubes — ideal for special occasions.

5. Paneer Paratha

Stuff whole wheat dough with spiced paneer crumble. Roll and cook on a tawa with ghee.

Pro tip: Press homemade paneer under weight for 30 minutes for firmer cubes that hold shape in gravies.
