Paneer
2026 June 12
Ingredients for 4 people each
- 1 litre of milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ lemons
Preparation
Squeeze the lemons. Rinse a saucepan with water. Heat the milk and salt in the saucepan and slowly add the lemon juice just before the milk comes to the boil. The milk will curdle, separating the curds from the whey.
Place a cloth over a sieve and position the sieve over a bowl. Pour the contents of the saucepan into the sieve. The fresh cheese will collect in the cloth while the whey drains into the bowl. Leave the paneer to drain in the sieve for at least half an hour. Then shape it into a rectangle using the cloth, place it on a perforated tray and weigh it down with a board for about an hour. This gives the paneer an even shape and makes it easy to cut into uniform cubes.
