Related to Paneer
Halloumi
Halloumi is the closest substitute for paneer: both are firm, fresh cheeses that fry and grill without melting. Halloumi is saltier and made from sheep and goat milk, and it is far lighter per cup (120 g vs 226 g), so match by weight rather than volume. Use it cubed in curries and on skewers, and soak it briefly to cut the salt if needed. See our Halloumi converter.
Ricotta
Ricotta works as a paneer stand-in only in baked and crumbled dishes, not in curries where paneer must hold its cube shape. It is soft and wet (258 g vs 226 g per cup), so drain it well and press it firm before use. Season with salt to match paneer's milky neutrality. See our Ricotta converter.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is the fresh, lumpy relative of paneer at a similar weight (234 g vs 226 g per cup). Pressed and drained it firms up closer to paneer, but on its own it is too wet to fry. See cottage cheese in tablespoons.
