Where to buy Skimmed Paneer?

Hello Friends,

Indian stores have Paneers made out of Whole milk , i want to buy Paneer made out of skimmed milk? :confused: Can we get them in American Grocessary Stores, if so while section do i have to search?

Hi ,

I think we do get paneer made of 2 % milk these days. Forgot the brand name.
The american alternatives are : tofu ( firm tofu usually for our indian recipes) . The other option is to use low fat ricotta cheese, but then this does not gel well for Indian recipes, unless the paneer is to mashed up and used like for paratas, or kheema etc....

Hope this helps.

Hi Vandhana,

Thank you for your reply. I will check for paneer made of 2% milk. If you ever come across the brand , do let me know.The taste of the dish varies if we use tofu.

Thank you.

Vandana ..
It would be nice if u could post the name of the brand once it strikes your mind...

I love Paneer but did not buy it for a long time besos of the whole lotsa fat...(I do not want to strain myself to make it at home though...) If there is 2% fat paneer available...that is really good news to me...

I'll check out again in my Indian stores...
