Lactose intolerant? Consume Dahi!
If you consume milk and it causes indigestion which is associated with vomiting, gas, nausea and loose motion, you are most certainly suffering from lactose intolerance. Yeaā¦ remember, if you donāt like smell or flavour of milk, then you are not lactose intolerant, you just donāt like milk!
If you are facing lactose intolerance, then instead of removing entire dairy from your meal, you should consume fermented dairy products, for example, Dahi, Curd, Sour milk, Matha etc.
Paneer vs Cheese
Most of the time I have been asked if Paneer and Cheese are same?
My reply is, āNOā!
However, dairy industry consider them same but I have significant reasons to say that they are different.
Cheese is a product of European origin. Rather, I should say, āthey areā products of European origin. There are more than 500 listed varieties of cheese. To prepare them, first, milk is cultured by some specific bacteria to raise acidity of milk with production of lactic acid. After this, rennet enzyme (an enzyme extracted from fourth stomach of calf) is added to it to give curd a thicker and particular consistency. After these steps, further steps may vary. Some cheese are further salted, waxed, sprinkled with spores or ripened. āRipeningā is the key factor for specific flavour and texture of cheese. Some cheese are not ripened and they are called Fresh Cheese.
