Don't we love meals that are yummy and also promise umpteen health benefits?! Paneer is one such ingredient we can have across the day, and we know we wouldn't even get bored! After all, there's so much that you can do with paneer, and cook it in multiple ways. Even if you are in no mood to cook, you can always tuck into it raw. Paneer, also known as cottage cheese is India's most beloved cheese for a variety of reasons. While it makes for an excellent addition to our robust gravies, it may also help spruce up your healthy meals. Since paneer is rich in protein and low in calories and carbohydrates, you could throw it in your salads with greens, nuts, and seeds. Give the bunch a good mix and you are good to go! Paneer is considered to be an excellent source of vegetarian protein. Protein helps build muscle; the more muscle you have, the lesser room there is for fat to accumulate. Protein also helps fill you up. If you are full, your chances of bingeing are also minimal. This is why nutritionists and experts often advise you to load up on proteins and fibre-rich foods. And guess what, we have a recipe that is a mix of both.
