Paneer Cheese

Add a little India to your diet - try homemade Paneer cheese! Paneer is a homemade Indian cheese, from which many dishes and desserts are prepared in Bengali cuisine. By itself, it does not have a bright taste, so cooked paneer is added to various dishes with spices. Paneer is prepared simply by fermenting fresh fat milk with lemon juice. Milk should be very fat. And it's better to be at home. I cooked from the store 3.2% (as I really wanted to try, but there was no other) Turn out. But it didn't come out much and it wasn't as beautiful as Manjula Kitchen's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gkor7dW6DU

Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min
You need to boil a saucepan with milk (6 cups) over medium heat so that the milk does not burn, stirring occasionally. After 10 minutes of boiling, mix a little less than a glass of lemon juice and half a glass of water, and slowly pour into the milk, stirring slowly.
Milk should start to curdle, you can add more lemon juice if the process is not active enough. Wait a couple of minutes. Drain the paneer through a sieve covered with gauze in 3-4 layers, Rinse the paneer (inside the gauze) with cold water to remove the taste of lemon. Squeeze out the water. The pressed paneer needs to be kneaded a little in order to give it the right consistency and remove the crumbs so that it is convenient to work with it further
