How harmful is fake paneer served in popular Indian restaurants

Recently, an influencer and YouTuber, Sarthak Sachdeva, accused Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan’s swanky Mumbai restaurant, Torii, of serving ‘fake paneer.’ While the restaurant has firmly denied the allegations, the video has gone viral, stirring conversation on how Indians are unknowingly consuming high amounts of analogue paneer, also called synthetic paneer.

Fake paneer—often called artificial or analogue paneer—is essentially a lookalike of the real thing. It’s designed to resemble traditional dairy paneer in appearance, texture, and even taste, but without using actual milk in full. Image for Representation. Pixabay
