Today we will tell you some easy tricks, through which you can easily find out the difference between real and fake paneer.
How to identify real Paneer
Take out the paneer brought from the market in a plate. Mash it with very light pressure with your hand. If it disintegrates, it means that there is no adulteration in it. On the other hand, if it does not, then it is possible that it is adulterated. Actually, the elements added in adulterated paneer spoil the properties of milk. This makes the paneer hard. Because of this it does not disintegrate. Pure paneer is not very sour to eat. Its smell should be mild and milk-like. If it smells too much or feels sour on smelling, then do not buy it even by mistake.
Other ways to identify Genuine Paneer
You can also identify the purity of paneer at home. For this, take a glass of water. Put a small piece of paneer in it. Real and pure paneer will sink in water and will not break. Whereas adulterated paneer may dissolve in water or break. Put a small piece of paneer in a pan and heat it without adding oil or water. When pure paneer is heated, the moisture will come out of it and its shape will remain intact. Whereas, fake paneer will break. A lot of water will also come out.
Test Before you buy
If you are going to buy Paneer from a sweet shop or a sweet shop, then definitely ask them for a small piece to taste. If after eating Paneer you feel a bit tight, then it may be because there is synthetic mix in it. If Paneer is fresh and made from milk, then it will melt as soon as it enters the mouth.
