Homemade Paneer Cheese
Bring a little bit of India into your kitchen — make your own fresh paneer! Paneer is a fresh, homemade Indian cheese that's the backbone of countless dishes and desserts in Bengali cooking. On its own it has a mild, milky flavor, so it's usually simmered into spiced dishes that give it character. Paneer is easy to make: you simply curdle fresh, full-fat milk with lemon juice. The milk needs to be as rich as possible — farm-fresh whole milk is ideal. I made mine with store-bought 3.2% milk (I was eager to try it and had nothing else on hand), and it worked. The yield was small and the curds weren't as pretty as Manjula's Kitchen, but it did the job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gkor7dW6DU
