Where to find raw Paneer in Toronto?
Does anyone know where I can find raw paneer in the GTA to make my own paneer dishes at home?

I've found it in the little convenience/grocery stores on Parliament Street, just north of Dundas. It's fresh, not frozen, and I found it to be serviceable, if bland. (One of the stores has more than one variety...i'm sorry, i don't remember the brand names.) I also once got it at Whole Foods, but that was at least 2 years ago and they were discontinuing it, so i doubt you'd be able to get it there.

House of Spice in Kensiington has a few choices of packaged stuff, it is frozen, I don't know if that does too much to it but I had good success making little grilled bites as apps and saag paneer one night...although, if it is easy to make that sounds like the way to go...

I know you can find it at a couple of the grocery/green grocer stores on Gerrard East. However, I haven't yet found the equivalent of fresh-made, it's always been the packaged stuff (which frankly doesn't compare to the texture of homemade paneer). If you have the time, look up a recipe online and make it in advance, it's really easy!
