Real vs. Fake Paneer: Is Your Family Eating Healthy Dairy or Hidden Chemicals?
We all love a rich Shahi Paneer or a protein-packed Paneer Tikka. It is the staple of every vegetarian household in Delhi NCR. But have you ever wondered why the paneer from the local dairy shop never spoils, even after days in the fridge? Or why it feels rubbery instead of soft?
The truth is alarming. A significant portion of the "loose paneer" sold in Delhi markets is Synthetic Paneer—an artificial mix of vegetable oil, starch, and sometimes even urea or detergent.
At Swarn Kapila Organic Dairy Farm, we believe you deserve the truth. You don’t need a science lab to know what you are eating. Here are 5 simple ways to check if your paneer is pure or plastic, right in your own kitchen.
What is "Synthetic Paneer" Anyway?
Real paneer is simple. It requires only two ingredients: Pure Milk and a natural curdling agent (like Lemon or Vinegar). That’s it.
Synthetic (Fake) Paneer, however, is often made using:
Palm Oil: To mimic the creaminess of milk fat.
Starch/Maida: To increase the weight and quantity.
Urea/Detergent: To give it a white, shiny appearance.
Eating this "fake dairy" can lead to severe stomach issues, kidney stress, and long-term health problems for children and the elderly.

5 Easy Ways to Check Paneer Purity at Home
Here are the most reliable tests you can perform today.
1. The "Squeeze" Test (Texture Check)
This is the easiest test. Real paneer made from pure Cow Milk is naturally soft and crumbly.
The Test: Take a raw cube of paneer and press it between your fingers.
Real Paneer: It will break apart and crumble easily.
Fake Paneer: It will feel rubbery and elastic. If it bounces back like a sponge or stretches without breaking, it likely contains gluten or starch.
2. The Iodine Test (For Starch)
Manufacturers often add potato starch or flour to paneer to increase the weight cheaply.
The Test: Boil a small piece of paneer in water, let it cool, and add 2–3 drops of Iodine Solution (available at any chemist).
Real Paneer: The color will remain brownish or yellowish.
Fake Paneer: It will turn Dark Blue or Black. This reaction confirms the presence of starch.
3. The "Dal" Test (For Urea)
This is a critical test if you buy loose paneer from unverified vendors.
The Test: Boil the paneer in water, cool it, and add a teaspoon of Arhar Dal (Toor Dal) powder. Wait for 10 minutes.
The Result: If the water turns light red, the paneer may contain Urea or detergent. Real paneer will not change color.
4. The Taste & Smell Test
Your own senses are the best detectors.
Smell: Pure A2 Paneer has a mild, milky aroma. Fake paneer is often odorless or has a faint chemical/industrial smell.
Taste: Real paneer tastes slightly sweet and milky. If it tastes bland, oily, or leaves a waxy coating on your tongue, it is likely made with vegetable fat (Palm Oil).
5. The "Burning" Test
The Test: Hold a small piece of paneer over a flame.
The Result: Real paneer will burn and smell like burnt milk. Synthetic paneer will catch fire quickly and smell like burning plastic due to the presence of synthetic oils.
At Swarn Kapila Organic Dairy Farm, we don't just sell dairy; we serve Gau Amrit. Our Premium A2 Paneer is made using the traditional methods that our ancestors used:
Source: Made exclusively from the A2 Milk of our own Desi Gir Cows. We do not aggregate milk from unknown sources.
Process: We curdle our milk using Natural Chaach neither Vinegar nor Lemon, and never industrial acids.
Zero Additives: No starch. No palm oil. No preservatives.
Freshness: We don't store paneer for weeks. It is made fresh and delivered to your doorstep in Delhi NCR.
The "Swarn Kapila Challenge"
We invite you to try the Iodine Test on our paneer. We are so confident in our purity that we encourage you to test it against any other brand in the market. When you eat Swarn Kapila Organic Dairy Farm's PAYNIR, you are eating 100% natural milk protein—nothing else.
Conclusion: Don't Compromise on Health
