Tip 1

Always make sure that you should cut paneer in blocks in order to store them for long.

Cover the paneer with a wet muslin cloth to keep the moisture intact. This will keep paneer fresh for a few hours. Re-wet the muslin every six hours if wish to use it within one day.

Tip 3

If you wish to store paneer for longer periods, then take a bowl, put paneer blocks, and pour water. This way the paneer will remain fresh for a week. 

Tip 4

If you have packaged paneer, then make sure you keep the paneer in the freezer by wrapping the pack in a vacuum zip bag.
