What's good.

Milk and Low Fat Milk : Mawa is made from full fat milk. 1 cup of milk provides 70% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of Calcium.

Since paneer is low in carbs and high in protein it gets digested slowly and hence good for diabetes. Potassium in paneer helps to reduce the effect of high sodium, by lowering blood pressure and contraction of blood vessels, resulting in improved heart health and reduced risk of heart attack.
