Paneer is one of the most neutral ingredients in Indian cooking, which makes it ideal for use in a wide array of curries. A good paneer must be well formed and not crumbly. Its structure shouldn't be too tight, otherwise it will become tough and not absorb any curry.

While paneer is especially adored among aficionados of some branches of north Indian cuisine in particular—it is the vegetarian's delight—its close cousin 'chhana' (or 'chhena') holds a special place in Bengali cooking. From being the base for all manner of Bengali sweets (sondesh, roshogolla, anyone?), it is also used to make chhana'r torkari, a curry with mildly spiced chhana koftas, which is a beloved delicacy.

Of course, cubes of fresh paneer are also used in Bengali curries. In this video, we show you how to form and cut paneer perfectly, and also link you to our special recipe for paneer'er dalna in the end!
