Real and Fake Cheese: Paneer is an important and delicious ingredient in Indian food. It is rich in protein and is used in various dishes, such as paneer butter masala, paneer tikka and palak paneer. However, the market is full of fake cheese, which is made of harmful chemicals. Consuming fake cheese can be a serious health risk. Let us know the difference between real and fake cheese.
