Paneer

Today I made some Paneer.
It's made by boiling up some milk adding some vinegar (or lemon juice) and waiting until the curds and whey separate.
I added some cumin and fennel seeds to it as an extra flavour and texture and then wrapped it in muslin placed it in a colander with a dish on top and weighted it down.
When the whey has drained from it and it's become slightly solid unwrap it, then cut it into pieces and shallow fry to crisp it up on the outside, this will give it a great texture and prevent it from disintegrating when you add it to a curry sauce.
I make a masala sauce and add peas which compliment the paneer really well and add sweetness to the dish.
This paneer or cheese is fresh, delicious and completely different from the rubbery stuff that is available in shops.
I once had a paneer curry in Germany and they used feta cheese in it.
Not a good idea!
