Paneer tastes good only when it's soft and supple. However, refrigerating it can make it rubbery. Discover how you can bring back its softness with ease with these tips.

Always store paneer in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. If you leave it exposed to the harsh air inside, it will become super dry.

You must take the paneer out of the fridge 1-2 hours prior to cooking. This helps soften it, giving you the best texture.

If you're short on time, you can even immerse the paneer cubes in warm water. Soak them for around 5 minutes, and you're good to go.

To steam paneer, boil water in a pan, place a strainer over it, and arrange the paneer cubes on it. Cover with a lid to prevent steam from escaping.

You should always add paneer cubes to your dish at the end. This prevents them from overcooking and becoming dry and rubbery.
