Paneer is used in many different kinds of Indian recipes. It’s great with peas and spinach. This is homemade cheese. Very simple and easy to make. |
Ingredients
-
4 quart milk
-
4 whole fresh Lemon juice
Recipe
Pour the milk into large pot. Bring to a boil. When the milk starts to boil add the lemon juice and stir. Take off burner. When the milk curdles pour the mixture into a pan that has cheesecloth with a colander inside the pan. You want to save the whey (water). The curds are in the cheesecloth.
Pick up the cheese cloth with the curds inside. Be careful it will be quite hot. Tie the cheesecloth around the top of your facet so the panir will drip the water into your sink. In half an hour come back and on a chopping block with the curds (panir) still in the cheesecloth, press with your hands down and press the panir to make it flat. Then take a heavy cast iron pan and press it over the panir for one hour.
When the panir is dry take it out of the cheesecloth and cut into cubes.
Add ghee (clarified butter) to heavy cast iron pan and fry the panir until they are golden on both sides. Place panir on a plate.
