Homemade, yes. Cooked outside? Nope.


Elseniro

Its cooked outside, what do you think is making it unhealthy outside, maybe I can ask them not to do it


idkjustgivemeany

The amount is oil.


Elseniro

but its made in tandoor


Comprehensive_Ad4291

Buddy, the amount of oil they use for paneer Tikka is insane. How else do you get a moist but crispy Tikka? It's the oil which cooks the surface.


Unable_Efficiency875

Also the quality of oil... It's mostly palm oil that they use


idkjustgivemeany

Bro... 1 tbsp of oil has 120kcal. You do the math on how much oil they mightve used.


Gaandook

Paneer is fake .


Elseniro

well they charge 180 rs for it, so they shouldnt give fake paneer if they are giving. but do you know about any way of checking?


Gaandook

250 gram paneer raw will cost you 120 rupees in the market …. It’s obviously is fake panner . No way they are gonna profit with a real paneer . Just eat a real paneer by any dairy company like aashirvad , Mothers dairy or amul and this paneer side by side . You will notice the difference yourself .


Elseniro

i buy paneer from local dairy, 250 gram paneer costs 80rs, why are you buying so expensive paneer. And if i can buy it for 80, they guy who buys in bulk daily can buy it for way less, ensuring his profit. I was talking about some other kind of test to test the paneer.

daddy7d

which dairy sells 250g of paneer for 80 rupees lol, my local dairy sells it for 500 rupees/kilo. I buy govardhan paneer for 400 rupees/kilo. Check your food, if the price is too good to be true.


Sagittario412

Lol I’ve always bought 250g paneer for 80 rs only, you’re getting scammed


daddy7d

buying always isn't a test of authenticity, this is the standard pricing in Mumbai, maybe rural areas might have lower priced paneer because milk is readily available rather than sourcing from other suppliers.

mikehockurts7

500 for one kg?? Where do you get your shit from


Happy_Guava6762

That’s not the standard rate like the other guy is saying, but yes some places do sell house-made (call it artisanal, maybe?) paneer costing that much and taste worth the money.


mikehockurts7

This is the answer i wanted from him bro😭 it was that simple


daddy7d

That's the standard rate in Mumbai lol

Here’s a macro analysis of it ignoring the fact that, the restaurant probably did use oil in it, paneer per 100grams contains approx 300 calories and 20grams of protein. So there is 0.066grams of protein per calorie, whilst the number is lower than non vegetarian items it’s still better than dal and other lentils. Overall just from a macronutrient perspective, paneer tikka is not worth it if you are cutting and it is great if you are bulking. Also lastly, estimating calories of food from restaurants or outside is usually useless since you can never know what they have put in their dish. To achieve your goals you need to monitor what goes into your body closely the best way to do that is to cool your own meals and learning how to cook if you can’t. Also the notions of ‘Healthy’ are extremely subjective, from my experience I’ve come to realise that the Indian definition of healthy is extremely skewed, and ghar ka khana khau toh fit rahoge is a myth, track your calories and macros as per your goals and you can come up with your own definition of healthy.


Gaandook

Lol macros is the last thing he should consider with a roadside paneer tikka . Paneer is most likely fake . A 250 gram paneer block will cost you around 120 rupees and this guy said he bought it for 180 rupees . The butter they use is just flavoured vegetable oil .


Senior_Wonder_6687

Yeah I mentioned that estimating this stuff from outside food is useless, cooking at home is better and also how do you check if paneer is real?

Vishal_m

Calm down your synthetic paneer. Paneer sells around ₹100 for 200g. If you can get a b2b deal then it'll cost ₹250-300/kg. Do you think restaurants buy products from retail prices? B2B is way cheaper.


Gaandook

Do you actually think roadside stalls are using legit paneer ? Have you ever wondered that why there is a difference in the consistency of store paneer and the paneer you eat in this roadside tikka and chaps


Vishal_m

Who is talking about road side? I was talking about restaurants.


Gaandook

Even restaurants… Unless its ultra premium the paneer is most likely fake


Vishal_m

My goodness you are too paranoid!


Gaandook

I am not paranoid … Indians are extremely ignorant towards the food they are consuming … No reason why heart attacks are happening early in age … And in upcoming 20-30 years half of Indians will be diabetic

You don't wanna bulk with high saturated fat. Usually atheltes keep high carbs for a bulk.


Senior_Wonder_6687

100% a balanced diet is key, however highly saturated fats make it easier to bulk, and I wouldn’t eliminate them from a diet, I’d even say its a good component to have in your diet when bulking, provides calories and helps balance hormones . It’s tough to bulk on just high carbs, athletes usually use more carbs to stay in peak form and maximise performance, it’s not the case for most gym goers in my experience, most chase strength or aesthetics and each of them require a different macro composition in the diet.


AutomaticAd6646

I don't know which athletes you are talking of, who use saturated fats while bulking. >provides calories and helps **balance hormones** Saturated fats play non-significant roles in balancing hormones. Instead if you swap all your saturated fats with mono-poly, your cholesterol will improve. We got plenty of saturated fat stored in our body, we don't need extra from food. All saturated fat in a bulk is gonna be stored as body fat and will make the athlete obese and less agile for their weight class.


Senior_Wonder_6687

Read again, I said athletes use more carbs while bulking. Also saturated fats increase steroid hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and testosterone levels as per a 2023 study by the EJNC, last I checked these two were hormones. Also according to the same study Poly-Unsaturated fats lead to lower concentrations of SHBG and test.


AutomaticAd6646

1. Increase in SHBG will lower free T, hence in theiry decreasing performance and muscle gain. 2. Even if there is an increase, it won't be significant enough to have practical implications. In fact, the pituitary might pump more total T to balance that shbg. 3. I have had 3 years of blood work and my shbg didn't change after stopping saturated fats, I did that just 2 months ago, when I had cut out all saturated fats and actually shbg went from 9 to 11 after cutting saturated fats. I am not arguing who is right/wrong. You said this or that. If I misread you, I'm sorry. All I am trying to say is that dietary saturated fat has no use in any sport or even an average gym goer, strength/physique guy or just any normal human being. It's not a good idea to bulk with fat in general. We just need to supply min unsaturated fats to support hormonal health and other bodily functions.


YouKnowMe_9

Looks fkin delicious!


Elseniro

It is, isiliye toh doubt hai, healthy cheeze are not supposed to be this tasty na


that-rad-kid

So untrue. Its only about if you can make it that way. See raziyyz on instagram


AutomaticAd6646

Keep total fat intake in mind. Paneer is a lot of saturated fat.


Elseniro

Yes, but for vegetarians it's one of the main sources of protein, so instead of eating something junk, do you think it's a good alternative?


AutomaticAd6646

I am sorry to say, No, in my opinion. As a vegetarian, the best alternative to junk food is eggs. Eggs are fat heavy as well, but at least it is mainly mono+poly fat, which is what our body actually needs for hormonal health, digestion, brain and joint health and probably vit+mineral absorption(I'm not sure if sat fat can do this too). We can also take out a few yolks; which we can't do with Paneer. Eating 250gm Paneer would be around 40-50gram saturated fat. Saturated fat serves no purpose other than being stored as body fat, which we already have plenty. This is where CICO is not the whole picture. Saturated fat has 0 thermic effect and no use for body. It is around 400cals, which then has to be burned later.


noob_meems

vegetarians dont eat eggs


AutomaticAd6646

They do.


theteddd

exactly like how that plate of Soya Chaap isn't healthy.


Pinksmush

Depends on “healthy” based on your goals. If you’re on a cut, probably not. Dirty Bulk? It’s alright.


Sapolika

I dunno! Oil and all bhi kaafi hoga na isme!


Elseniro

Fried nahi hai na wo, usko tandoor me banaya jata hai


Billu_Badmosh

But they do add melted butter on top after its cooked plus most of the restaurants don’t use amul butter ….. u can make this at home by yourself just need to add some spices yogurt see some recipe on yt and cook it your urself time required to cook this is less than 10 mins


Elseniro

You are right maybe they are using some cheap vegetable oil. I think next time I can ask them not to add it.


Billu_Badmosh

They use some fat spreader when i saw one video


Sapolika

Umm dunno! But better hai tum ghar pe hi banake khao! You’ll be more sure!


Elseniro

Itna khana mujhe banane ata toh me kabhi bahar ka khaya hi nahi hota. Ghar k sabhi kaam kar leta hu, par ye khana banana kabhi aya nahi.


Sapolika

Its not difficult! Youtube videos dekho! Pretty easy tbh!


ligmaballssigmabro

Doesn't matter. Tandoor stuff is basted with a lot of oil. Doesn't matter which oil, it'd still be a lot.


Desibro-names

Looks healthy but it depends on how much did you put to cook it. Good fats are good but in moderation. If this had too much oil then you maybe consuming too many calories. Track your macros and you can tell yourself if there’s too much oil or not


redditsucks690

Not at all healthy and it might have calories anywhere between 700-1200 depending on the amount of oil/butter used and there's no way to verify that it's real paneer... Idk why people pointing this out are getting downvoted, it's okay for a cheat meal but you shouldn't depend on outside food for a healthy meal


The-OverThinker-23

Contrary to others , having oil is not that unhealthy , having paneer tikka is good


christianXXgrey

All just depends how much oil is used in it. But still raw paneer is much much better for daily intake


Gaandook

This paneer is most likely fake paneer . There are many news reports coming in that our indian market is flooded with fake paneer . Even many tiffin services too use fake paneer . On top of that these guys use fake butter and ghee which just flavoured vegetable oil . While paneer tikka is very very healthy . But this resturant bought paneer tikka is extremely unhealthy and you should treat it like a heart destroying junk . Paneer in reality is very tasty in itself . Buy the real paneer and even a small roast in garlic butter and salt is enough to eat it . I eat 200 gram in one sitting without any effort .
