Paneer is a type of fresh cheese commonly used in Indian cuisine. It's made by curdling milk with an acidic substance like lemon juice or vinegar, then pressing the curds to remove excess whey. The result is a mild, non-melting cheese with a firm texture.

Paneer is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as:

• Paneer Tikka: Marinated and grilled chunks of paneer.
• Paneer Butter Masala: Paneer cubes cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce.
• Palak Paneer: Paneer cooked with spinach and spices.
• Shahi Paneer: A rich and creamy paneer dish with a mix of spices and sometimes nuts.
