How to Soften Refrigerated Paneer



We buy Paneer from the market and most of the time we need to store it for some days in the refrigerator. This makes Paneer hard and if we use it in our dishes then we don't get the yummy softness of the Paneer.

Step 1.  Take a bowl of water and microwave it for a minute.
Step 2.  Take out refrigerated Paneer(Cottage Cheese) and cut them into cubes.
Step 3.  Immerse the cubes into warm water from Step 1 for 5 minutes.
Step 4.  Drain out the water and take out Paneer(Cottage Cheese) cubes.

Soft Paneer(Cottage Cheese) is ready to use now.
If you don't have a microwave, just use gas to boil water and immerse Paneer(Cottage Cheese) into the water for 2 minutes and then remove it.

Note:-  Don't put Paneer for more time in the water or very hot water than required thinking that it will get more soften. It will only make the Paneer over soft and will start breaking when we put in the gravy.

    1. Yes Ajeet it is always advisable to use hot water because cold water thickens the Paneer more. The more the thickness of the Paneer the more hot the water should be.

    1. Hi Manish !! First of all thank you for coming to our website. Frozen Paneer Blocks have to be put outside for sometime to even cut the required amount. When you are doing it first time you can cut it into smaller pieces and freeze it for later use. Just make sure that it is not kept out for a very long time, just till the time it can be atleast cut.
