This is how you can preserve paneer for a week

Paneer is every vegetarian's delight, this is because of its delightful taste and soft texture. But one of the common concerns with paneer is about storing them as this dairy food has low shelf life and can spoil faster than other foods. So, if you too love paneer and wonder how to retain its shelf life for a long time? Then here are some simple hacks that will help in preserving the shelf life of paneer for at least a week.

If you want to store paneer for weeks, cut them in small pieces and wrap them tightly, and place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. Frozen paneer can last for several months. Thaw the bag of paneer before cooking.

Transfer the paneer into an airtight container. Make sure the container is clean and dry. A tight seal helps prevent moisture and bacteria from affecting the paneer.

Place a clean, dry paper towel at the bottom of the container. This helps absorb excess moisture, which can make the paneer go bad faster.

Another simple way to retain the taste and texture of paneer is cutting them and wrapping in a clean dry foil or plastic wrap. Slip it into a zip lock pouch and refrigerate.

Some people like to lightly salt the paneer before storing it, as this can help extend its shelf life. However, this step is optional and depends on your preference.
