*Paneer Cheese
Paneer cheese is often used in Indian and Asian dishes. It is made with whey only, unlike other cheeses which use rennet. This makes it suitable for vegetarians. It is low in sodium (salt) and a good source of protein.
As the cheese doesn’t melt during cooking, it is best to grate if you want a smooth texturLemnose.
Paneer cheese is available in most supermarkets.
