Paneer is an Indian cottage cheese used in a variety of Indian & South Asian cuisines. It is a soft cheese with chewy texture made from full-fat milk. I usually prepare it at home and use it in various dishes. Home-made Paneer is fresh and good in quality compared to the stored Paneer that you get from the supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, Ricotta cheese is similar to Paneer, with a slight difference in preparation technique with the same ingredients. This is a soft and mild-flavored cheese used mostly in pasta and lasagna recipes. You can prepare Paneer from ricotta cheese as well, which we will discuss later in this article. The first thing you need to understand is the difference between Paneer and ricotta cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Paneer vs. Ricotta Cheese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ricotta is prepared from the whey produced from the milk and adding an acid or a citrus juice. In contrast, Paneer is made from the curd produced during this process. Choosing one from these two might be quite confusing. You may use Ricotta instead of Paneer in traditional Indian dishes like Palak paneer, curry, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
