Kya Tumhara Paneer Asli Hai? Ghar Pe 3 Minute Mein Check Karo
Starch aur synthetic milk ki milawat common hai. 3 simple home tests se asli paneer pehchano.
Milawat kyun hoti hai
Paneer ki demand zyada hai aur doodh mehenga. Isliye kuch milawati paneer mein starch, synthetic milk ya sasta vegetable fat mila diya jaata hai — jisse weight aur volume badh jaaye. FSSAI ke DART (Detect Adulteration with Rapid Test) guide mein bhi paneer ke liye ghar pe kiye jaane wale tests diye gaye hain.
3 minute ke 3 tests
Iodine test (starch check)
Paneer ka chhota tukda paani mein ubaal kar thanda karein. Usmein kuch boondein tincture iodine (medical store pe milta hai) daalein.
Result: Blue-black colour aaye to starch mila hai. Asli paneer ka colour nahi badlega.
Crumble test
Paneer ka tukda haath mein masal kar dekhein.
Result: Asli paneer soft aur thoda spongy hota hai. Milawati paneer bahut rubbery hota hai ya ekdum toot kar crumble ho jaata hai.
Heat test
Ek tukda bina oil ke garam tawe par rakhein.
Result: Asli paneer se thoda doodh jaisa paani nikalta hai aur woh halka brown hota hai. Agar zyada oily ho kar pighlne lage, to vegetable fat ka shak hai.
Home tests sirf indication dete hain. Pakka result ke liye lab test zaroori hai. Shak ho to FSSAI ke Food Safety Connect app par complaint kar sakte hain.
Kharidte waqt dhyan rakhein
- Bahut sasta paneer (market rate se kaafi kam) — red flag.
- Packed paneer par FSSAI licence number aur "paneer" (na ki "analogue" ya "cheese spread") likha hona chahiye.
- Paneer analogue legal hai, lekin use paneer bol kar bechna galat hai.
