Paneer, sometimes spelled as Panir or Paner, is an unaged cheese that is similar to pressed Ricotta cheese, except that the curd is drier and has no salt added. It is one of the primary protein sources among Buddhists (typically those of South Asian origin) who adhere to strict vegetarian diets. Paneer is used in curry dishes and is very popular when wrapped in dough and fried.
