Dear All,
As I promised you earlier about home made paneer , here below the recipe for your reference.
Home made paneer is so soft and also free from preservatives and has high protein that is very good for children.
As I need my panner to be less fat I made it from low fat milk (Aawin low fat milk) you can use any milk of your choice.
The higher the milk fat the higher quantity of panner you will get.
The dishes you can prepare from paneer are,
1) Rasagulla.
The recipe is as below,
SERVINGS :1) Yields about 3/4 cup of paneer cubes.
2) In case of paneer crumbs it yields about 1/2 cup of paneer.
INGREDIENTS :
Milk - 1/2 litre.
Lemon juice - 1 tsp or curd - 2 tsp
Ice cubes - 5 pcs.
Cloth - to filter.
PREPARATION :
1) In a wide vessel boil milk till it forms foam and overflow.
2) Once done simmer the heat and add the lemon juice or curd and mix gently with a spoon.
3) As you mix you can notice the curdling of milk ,In case your milk doesn't curdle add little more lemon or curd and mix well.
4) Mix till the milk curdles completely and whey water separates from panner.
5) At this stage switch off the stove and add the Ice cubes.
6) Once ice cubes are melted strain the curdled milk in a muslin cloth (any light cloth of your choice).
7) Wash the panner in running water well to remove the sourness of lemon or curd .
8) Once washed squeeze the water and tie the cloth and hang it for 45 mins to drain the water completely.If you are making sweets out of it then remove paneer from cloth and crumble at this stage.
9) In case if you need paneer cubes then after 45 mins of hanging place the panner cloth in the plate and place a heavy weight over the paneer (as in the picture , I used my motor and pestle).
10 ) After 1/2 hour you can see the paneer compresses well , remove the cloth now and cube the paneer to any size of your choice.Before adding into the curry fry the paneer cubes in a tsp of oil so that your panner cubes will not get break when added to curry.
11) If you are making sweets out of panner after 45 mins of hanging just take the panner out and crumble it with your hands and proceed with your sweets.
NOTES :
1) Ice cubes are added to prevent the paneer from over curdling and to stop rubbering.
2) You can use the whey for some purposes like curdling of milk again ,or you can use it instead of water while making chapatti dough .
