Paneer Recipes

Paneer is the workhorse of the Indian kitchen — mild, creamy, and endlessly adaptable. It soaks up whatever you cook it with, holds its shape on the grill, and turns a handful of pantry spices into dinner. This is my running collection of everything I make with it.

Start by making a fresh block from scratch — it is easier than you think — then work through the rich restaurant-style curries, the smoky tikka and stir-fries, the crispy snacks, and the quick weeknight meals. However you like your paneer, there is a recipe here for it.
