According to the TasteAtlas survey, Paneer – the star of vegetarian Indian cuisine – has made a significant global impression with Shahi Paneer and Paneer Tikka ranking as the 3rd and 4th best cheese dishes worldwide.
Shahi Paneer, a beloved North Indian dish, has become a ubiquitous item on menus at Indian restaurants worldwide. Meanwhile, Paneer Tikka – a highly popular appetizer in Indian cuisine – has also gained widespread recognition. The remarkable versatility of paneer has been further demonstrated by the inclusion of other paneer dishes such as Matar Paneer, Palak Paneer, Saag Paneer, and Paneer Makhani among the top-ranked cheeses.
