Is there a good way to make homemade "Paneer", or the cheese they use in the vegetable curry dishes in the resteraunts. I'm thinking it would be good to make at home with "organic" milk!

  Hi,
  This is Suman Mathur from NJ.I would like to share the Paneer & Cheese receipe with u.
  For Paneer: For 1 litre of Milk, u will get Paneer of app. 200 -250 gms.First, boil the milk for some time & when u see that its comming up, slow the fire & add medium size of lemon juice to it.And don't saute it with a spoon, to make it thick.Leave it for some 20-25 mins on slow fire.
  And after that remove it from the fire a stain all the water in a fine cloth.And hang it for 4-5 hrs.Whole water will be drained.And then, place it on a flat surface & keep some heavy weight on it. And after 4-5 minutes Paneer will be ready without any water in it
  U can cut it in the shape as u wish.I hope, u will like this.If any questions, please ask at mathur_suman@yahoo.com

  Does "cheesecloth" work well for making paneer? I am a diehard fan of good paneer, but its hard to find in the States without spending a lot of $$.

  Suman, a few points I would like to comment on;
  --Lemon juice or vinegar should be added after turning off the gas/heat, when milk has come to a boil.
  --That should be enough to split the milk. Before adding this, swirl the milk with a spoon, so that the lemon juice is equally distributed.
  --Do not cook the milk anymore - you will end up having a tough and rubbery paneer.
  --Once drained in the cheese cloth, immerse the whole thing in cold water, to prevent any further cooking.
  --Do not hang it. Squeeze gently and then place it under a weight. Preferably, use a pan filled with water. Leave it for a couple of hours. Remove and store in plastic bags in the refrigerator.

  i have used nanak paneer, it is wonderful. no mess, just cut in cubes and cook. it does not crumble, and absorbs the curry. try it once and you will never make paneer at home again.

  Just another idea to help you make paneer faster at home. Put layers of papers above and below the paneer when you put heavy weight on it. This will absorb the extra water and will speed up the formation. Don't forget to put plain white paper towel in the last as otherwise muslin cloth with catch paper prints. Once it is done put the slab of paneer in refrigerator, before cutting into cubes.
