The paneer I made using this recipe was perfect for my favorite palak paneer dish. It held its shape well and absorbed the flavors of the sauce beautifully.

This paneer recipe is a game-changer! The paneer turned out soft, moist, and flavorful. I used it to make a delicious paneer tikka masala, and it was a hit with my family.
