What to know about Dodla Paneer
16 g protein, but 13.8 g saturated fat
Dodla Paneer is a 200 g pack of paneer made from three ingredients: milk solids, common salt and glucono delta lactone (INS 575). No percentages are declared. It is bought as a cooking staple for vegetarian dishes, where it supplies the protein.
Per 100 g you get 287 kcal, 16 g protein, 23 g fat, 4 g carbohydrate and 250 mg calcium. The cost is on the fat side: 13.8 g saturated fat and 51 mg cholesterol. Sodium is 175 mg and added sugar is 0 g. The pack counts 100 g as one serve, so half the pack is 287 kcal.
The name says paneer and the front says rich in protein, and both are true to the list. Nothing in the ingredients is there for show. CleanPlate scores it BA3.
Why Dodla Paneer scores BA3
Nutrition is a B on 16 g protein and 250 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with three plain items, and risk is a 3, driven by 13.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.

- Calcium
- Energy
- 287 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 16 g per 100 g, almost all from the milk solids, which are the leading ingredient. Calcium is 250 mg per 100 g and adds a micronutrient bonus to the grade.
There is no fibre, and the 287 kcal per 100 g are mostly from fat, so the grade stops at B.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is milk solids, common salt and glucono delta lactone (INS 575), an acidity regulator. No additive of concern is present, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as printed.
The front claims match the contents, so there is no label-integrity cost. The only gap is that no percentages are declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 175 mg
- Saturated fat
- 13.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0.46 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the main driver: 13.8 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line. It accounts for most of the risk score.
Sodium at 175 mg per 100 g adds a little, and energy at 287 kcal adds very little. Added sugar is 0 g, and trans fat is declared at 0.46 g per 100 g with no hydrogenated fat listed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Recipes with Dodla Paneer
Paneer cooks well in bhurji, palak paneer and tikka. Each 100 g adds 16 g protein, so pair it with vegetables for the fibre it lacks.
Paneer bhurji
Crumble 100 g with onion, tomato and spices for 16 g protein, and serve with roti or vegetables to add the fibre paneer lacks.
Palak paneer
Use 50 g of paneer per serve in a spinach gravy to halve the saturated fat from the paneer, about 6.9 g.
Grilled paneer tikka
Marinate cubes and grill them with peppers and onion, using little oil so the 13.8 g saturated fat per 100 g does not rise.
