Paneer is a firm, fresh Indian cheese that holds its shape when fried or simmered, the star of curries like palak paneer and matar paneer. One metric cup (250 ml) of cubed paneer weighs around 226 grams or 7.97 ounces. When a recipe lists paneer in cups but you are working from a block, converting by weight keeps the cheese ratio right.

Paneer is sold in blocks by weight, but recipes often call for it by the cup of cubes. Cubed and crumbled paneer fill a cup very differently, so weighing in grams gives a more consistent result than scooping.

Related Paneer Ingredients

Halloumi is another firm cheese that fries and grills without melting, similar in use to paneer but saltier and made from sheep and goat milk. It is much lighter per cup (120 g vs 226 g), so weigh when swapping into curries and skewers. See halloumi in tablespoons.

Ricotta is soft and wet where paneer is firm and dry (258 g vs 226 g per cup). Ricotta suits baked fillings; paneer is the choice when you need cubes that keep their shape in a simmered curry. See ricotta in tablespoons.

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.
