According to the report, the paneer market in India grew at a CAGR of 13.3% during 2011-2018. Paneer has been one of the most widely used dairy products in the Indian traditional cuisine since ages. It is a non-fermentative, non-renneted and non-melting type of cheese, obtained by acid and heat coagulation of milk.
Paneer is used in combination with other vegetables to prepare savoury dry-, semi dry-, and gravy delicacies. Apart from this, it also forms an important ingredient for various snacks, both salted and sweetened, such as pakoras (nuggets), and mishti and sandesh (a popular Bengali sweets). The major factor which has sustained its significance in the Indian culinary tradition is the presence of essential nutrition elements, such as dietary fibre, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, vitamin B, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. As a result of this, paneer aids in keeping several diseases at bay, while helping in maintaininga healthy body.
