Paneer and the Shellfish Free Diet
Paneer is a type of fresh cheese that is popular in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines. Unlike many other cheeses, it does not melt when heated, making it ideal for cooking and adding to hot dishes. It is made by curdling milk with a food acid like lemon juice or vinegar, then draining the curds and pressing them into a solid block. Paneer is a source of protein and calcium, and is often used in vegetarian diets as a meat substitute.
