I came across these pics recently, from two years ago when I made my own paneer one day. It was very successful and my then-husband used it to make Palak Paneer, a spinach & cheese Indian dish that I do not now have the recipe for – I think we just randomly selected one online somewhere.
The paneer recipe itself is here – step-by-step easy instructions with great photos.
I remember I did have a little trouble getting the milk to separate – it said use vinegar OR lemon juice, and whichever one I used didn’t make it happen so I ended up adding the other – but now I can’t recall which way around I added them! Apart from that it worked out really well and really does end up making a ball of cheese!
Don’t be deceived – it might look small but in fact this made a BIG piece – more than twice what we needed for the spinach dish – so it pays to make this when you want to use a lot of paneer within a few days, or are making an enormous quantity for a big Indian feast!
Happy Fooding!
