What is the difference between malai paneer and paneer? What is the difference between paneer and malai paneer? My wife asked me to buy paneer. In the shop I saw malai paneer and bought it. Are they the same?
Raghavan Iyer's book, 660 Curries has recipes for both Whole-milk cheese (doodh paneer) and creamy homemade cheese (malai paneer).  The only difference between teh two recipes is that the Malai paneer uses half-and-half while the doodh paneer uses whole milk.
