Paneer, is known as "Cottage Cheese" in English.
Cottage Cheese really is cheese. The difference with cottage cheese is that milk is curdled and drained instead of being processed or aged.
Hence cottage cheese is higher in protein, and is good for people who have early dinner.
Also, good to pack in lunch boxes when you know you'll have a long time between meals.
