Paneer (Panir)

Paneer (Panir)


1. Boil water in a large pot, then add milk.

2. Bring to a full foaming boil, stirring to prevent sticking.

3. Lower heat, the add lemon juice stirring constantly.

4. Soft curds should appear in 10-15 seconds, separating from the light yellow, clear whey.

5. Remove from heat and allow to stand 5-6 minutes.

6. Line a colander with finely woven tea towels (not cheesecloth!).

7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the curds from the pot and into the towel-lined colander. Use fine strainer to get the smallest remainders.

8. Gather the corners of the towels and twist into a tight ball.

9. Put a weight (heavy pan?) on top of the ball and let it rest 10 minutes.

10. Unwrap and use in recipe or wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
