Deep Paneer Hariyali
What it is
This is a ready-to-cook Indian cheese dish. It features paneer, a firm, non-melting Indian cheese, simmered in a vibrant green sauce. The sauce is traditionally made from a blend of fresh herbs like cilantro and mint, along with green chilies and spices. It offers a creamy texture and a refreshing, herbaceous flavor profile. The paneer cubes are typically cut into bite-sized pieces, ready for quick preparation.
How people cook with it
Paneer Hariyali is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It pairs well with various Indian breads and rice.

To prepare, simply heat a little oil or ghee in a pan. Add the contents of the package and simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce is heated through and the paneer is warmed. You can add a splash of water if you prefer a thinner consistency. For an enhanced flavor, you might consider adding a dollop of fresh cream or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. It is designed for convenience, requiring minimal preparation time.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many other paneer dishes that might be in a tomato-based or creamy cashew sauce, Paneer Hariyali stands out with its distinct green, herb-forward flavor. The use of fresh cilantro and mint gives it a lighter, more aromatic profile compared to richer, spicier curries.
