Paneer is one of the best foods for kids of all ages, and adults too! It is packed with protein and calcium – two nutrients that are often found lacking in Indian kids. And you don’t have to wait too long either; paneer can be introduced to babies at 8 months. While there are several ways to serve paneer, like purees or smoothies, this pan fried paneer cubes recipe is one of the easiest. You need all of three ingredients for this, and you can even skip the black pepper if you like!

And as kids grow older, you can serve it on a stick with other veggies – perfect to sneak in more nutrition!
