Paneer, a hard, mild cheese, requires proper handling to ensure optimal texture and flavor in dishes. Often stored in the refrigerated section, store-bought paneer can become rubbery and bland due to its low moisture content. Softening paneer before cooking enhances its absorptive qualities, making it more flavorful when included in dishes. Several methods for softening include bringing it to room temperature, soaking in warm water, steaming, or frying, with frying being the most effective for achieving a spongy texture that absorbs sauces.
Store-bought paneer requires softening to avoid a rubbery texture and bland flavor, enhancing its absorption of seasonings and moisture from dishes.
To soften paneer, bring it to room temperature, soak in warm water, steam, or fry, with frying yielding the best texture for absorption.
