Want a satisfying Indian dish without meat? Paneer, an Indian cheese made from milk, is a versatile ingredient for people who include dairy in a vegetarian diet. Add it to curries or cook it with vegetables. This guide explains how to choose paneer, ways to use it, and the options available in our store.
Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese made from milk. It can be cut into cubes for a curry or cooked and served with vegetables. Because it is a dairy product, paneer is not suitable for a vegan diet. People with a milk allergy should avoid it. To see whether a complete dish fits your dietary preferences, check the ingredients in the paneer as well as any stocks or sauces you use.

Paneer can suit vegetarians who eat dairy, but it is not vegan. A finished Indian dish might also include dairy, stock, or other ingredients that matter to your diet, so check the whole recipe. Rather than expecting one ingredient to deliver a specific health benefit, consider the balance of your meal, including vegetables and legumes.
