How to Make Fresh Paneer At Home Food52 + GonnaNeedMilk

KADAI PANEER:
In this episode of In the Food 52 Kitchen With, we are joined by cookbook author Hetal Vasavada to make fresh paneer to be used in a delicious and comforting Kadai Paneer.

"This Indian dish is extremely easy to make, and is a great starter recipe if youre learning how to make Indian food. It uses fresh paneer, which you make by boiling whole milk and curdling it with lemon juice to make fresh cheese. (The process is similar to ricotta, however, you press the cheese into a firm block to make paneer.)

Fresh paneer has a rich, creamy texture that cant be mimicked by store-bought paneer, so its well worth making it fresh. To get the most paneer out of this recipe, be sure to use whole dairy milk, as any non-dairy milk wont curdle. You also want the most amount of milk fat to get a higher yield of cheese. Here, the fresh paneer is used to make Kadai paneer, a dish made with a handful of pantry ingredients, warming spices, bell peppers and onions. You can serve it with roti, naan, rice or paratha.
