Paneer is a flavor sponge. It has no ego. It desperately wants to taste like whatever you cook it in. That’s its job.
Toss it in a spicy, tangy curry. Now it tastes like that curry. Grill it with cumin and chili. Now it’s smoky and warm. It’s a total culinary chameleon.
It’s the perfect beginner cheese. If you hate stinky cheese, you’ll love paneer. It’s like the nice, polite friend who gets along with everyone at the party.
