Quick Q&A
Which paneer recipe is best for dinner?
A paneer gravy or paneer with vegetables works best for dinner because it pairs easily with roti, naan, paratha or rice.
Can paneer recipes be made quickly?
Yes. Paneer bhurji, paneer stir-fry and simple paneer sabzi can usually be cooked faster than slow gravy recipes.
How do I keep paneer soft?
Add paneer late in the recipe, avoid hard boiling and use warm water soaking when the paneer is dense.
