RAKO Health Nutrition Tip

Paneer is a good source of protein and calcium, which help support muscle maintenance and bone health. Its protein and fat content can also help you feel fuller for longer.

Including paneer in your meals along with appropriate portions of phulkas and fresh vegetables can make your diet more balanced and nutritious.
