Paneer is a fresh cheese that is very common in Indian cuisine. I never cooked with it until last year, when I made a fried paneer recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s Vegetarian India.

What is the Ratio of Beans to Water in the Instant Pot? When cooking beans in the Instant Pot, you’ll use 2 1/2 cups of water for every 1 cup of dry beans. I’ve tried using less than that, but since beans expand as they cook, the ones that aren’t fully submerged in liquid will cook unevenly. You can definitely use more water, if you want to, but it’s not necessary for pinto beans....
