What to know about Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source
Clean single-ingredient paneer, with more fat than protein
Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source is a 200 g block of fresh paneer. The ingredient list reads only Milk Solid, with no percentage declared. It is bought as a simple, soft paneer for curries, bhurji and grills, from a brand that stresses fresh milk and a short list.
Per 100 g it has 249 kcal, 14 g protein, 22 g fat (5 g saturated), 2 g carbohydrate and 0 g added sugar. The pack prints no serve, so for a typical 50 g serve that is about 125 kcal, 7 g protein and 11 g fat. The pack gives a best-before of 7 days from manufacturing.
The front says fresh milk, a soft paneer with a clean taste, and single source. The clean-taste and short-list promises are matched by a one-item ingredient list, though the pack does not explain what single source refers to. CleanPlate scores it DA1.
Why Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source scores DA1
Nutrition is a D because 14 g protein sits beside 22 g fat per 100 g, with no fibre or micronutrients declared. Ingredients are an A on a single item, and risk is a 1 on 5 g saturated fat.

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 249 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 14 g per 100 g, about 22% of the 249 kcal. Fat is 22 g and carbohydrate 2 g. The protein comes from milk, but fat supplies most of the energy.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein alone and stays low.
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 a single ingredient, milk solid, so there are no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no added sugar to cost ingredient points.
No front-of-pack promise is contradicted by the list, so there is no label-integrity cost either.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Clean
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Saturated fat
- 5 g
03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is 5 g per 100 g, the only part of the risk number that registers. A 50 g serve has about 2.5 g.
Added sugar is 0 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The panel prints no sodium figure, so salt plays no part in the number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source live up to its claims?
The clean-taste claim holds on a one-item list. Fresh milk and single source are true-but-framed, since the list only says Milk Solid and the pack does not define single source.
- On the packBe careful
“Fresh milk, simply crafted.”
The ingredient list reads Milk Solid with no percentage, so it does not show how much fresh milk goes in. It is a one-ingredient list with no additives.
- On the packHolds
“Soft paneer with a clean taste”
The list has one ingredient and no additive, flavour or added sugar, which fits a clean taste.
- Product nameBe careful
“SINGLE SOURCE”
The pack does not say what the single source is. What it shows is a one-item ingredient list, milk solid.
What's in Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source?
Milk solid is the only ingredient, with no additives and no added sugar. The thing to watch is the fat: 22 g per 100 g, of which 5 g is saturated.
The ingredient list, read for you
The list reads Milk Solid and nothing else, with no percentage. That means the block is paneer made from milk alone, with no added salt, sugar, preservative, flavour or oil declared.
Ingredients to watch

- Fat share of caloriesWorth watching
22 g fat against 14 g protein per 100 g, so the block is richer in fat than in protein.
- Single ingredientFine
Milk solid only, with no additives, flavours or preservatives listed.
- Added sugarFine
0 g per 100 g, with 2 g carbohydrate in total.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.

Recipes with Himalayan Creamery Paneer Single Source
Paneer fits curries, bhurji and grills. Keep portions near 50 g and cook with vegetables and little added oil so the fat does not climb.
Paneer bhurji with vegetables
Crumble 50 g per person with onion, tomato and peppers, so the 7 g protein per serve comes with fibre the paneer lacks.
Palak paneer
Use spinach as the base and cook with little added oil, so the 11 g fat in a 50 g serve is not topped up by a cream gravy.
Grilled paneer tikka
Marinate cubes in spiced curd and grill them on skewers with vegetables, using little oil on top of the 5 g saturated fat per 100 g.
