About Paneer kheer
Paneer kheer is a classic Indian dessert made by simmering fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) in milk along with sugar and aromatic spices such as cardamom and sometimes saffron. It originates from North India and is enjoyed during festivals, family gatherings, and celebrations.
This dish is smooth and mildly sweet with the soft texture of paneer adding a dairy-rich component. It combines the protein and calcium from paneer and milk with carbohydrates from sugar. Despite being a dessert, it provides moderate protein and calcium content, making it somewhat nutrient-dense compared to many other sweets.
- Commonly served warm or chilled
- Suitable for vegetarians (contains dairy)
- Contains dairy allergens
Paneer kheer offers both energy and some essential micronutrients but should be consumed in moderation due to its sugar content.
