Home-Made Paneer
Milk and lemon juice. Twenty minutes and you never buy it again.
Ingredients
- 1 litre full cream milk
- Juice of 1 lemon or lime
- Salt
Method
- Bring the milk to a boil, then add the lemon juice a little at a time until it splits cleanly and the whey runs pale green.
- Off the heat, stand a few minutes so the curds settle.
- Strain through a muslin bag and rinse briefly under cold water to take the sourness off.
- Press between two flat plates with a weight on top for 30 minutes.
- Cut into cubes. Fry them pale brown if the dish calls for it.
