Paneer
- 2 liters milk
- 50 ml lemon juice
- Put the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to the boil, stirring to prevent scalding.
- Reduce heat and before the foam subsides, add the lemon juice.
- Gently move a wooden spoon through it in one direction.
- After 10-15 seconds, remove from the heat and agitate the milk gently until large lumps of soft curd form.
- Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Line a colander with 3 layer of damp muslin and place in a sink.
- Pour the mix in gently.
- Gather up the corners and twist once or twice.
- Hold the muslin-wrapped cheese under a stream of luke-warm water for 5-19 seconds.
- Gently twist the cloth to squeeze out excess whey.
- Bind the cloth around the cheese, relace in colander with weight on top and press for 45 minures to 1.5 hours.
- The cheese is then ready to eat on it's own or in your fave paneer recipe.
- Keeps for up to 4 days in the fridge.
