How to Roast Paneer

Paneer is a type of fresh cheese commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is made by curdling milk with an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining and pressing the curds to remove the whey. The result is a firm, crumbly cheese that has a mild flavor and is easy to cut into cubes or slices. Paneer is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from curries and stews to sandwiches and salads. It is also popular for its high protein content and ability to hold its shape when cooked, making it a popular meat substitute for vegetarians.
