Homemade Paneer (via Aliaaaaa). Made some paneer this afternoon for an egg curry. The paneer turned out great! Super simple to make. 6 cups of whole milk and 1 1/4 cup of plain yogurt. Bring the milk to a boil in a LARGE pot (to prevent overboiling). Stir continually while bringing the milk to a boil. The moment the milk starts to boil, add the yogurt and continue to stir. The milk will curdle in to soft lumps with a greenish whey. Strain the paneer in a strainer lined with a few layers of cheese cloth. After the paneer cools a bit, form the cheese into a ball and secure tightly with a rubber band, letting it hang and continue to drain. After 30 minutes, press it between two large, heavy surfaces to flatten it. This will allow it to solidify enough to be cut into cubes. Enjoy!
