Paneer


Ingredients:
full milk (fuller is better) - 2 liters of
Several limes (the juice is needed) Or vinegar - 3 to 5 tbsp (I used Vinegar)
Some Whole Garam masala things (Cinnamon, Cardamom and so on) - optional

Method:
* Heat the milk until it boils. The adventurous can add Whole Garam masala things to the milk when it starts to boil.
* Add lime juice or Vinegar as soon as the milk starts to boil (turn off the heat and keep on stirring!). Add enough so that the milk curdles.
* Pour everything through a muslin cloth (or use a tea-towel as I always do), rinse it with some cold water, and hang it to dry for a while (30 minutes or so).
* Press the remaining paneer under a heavy pan for a while to get rid of the remaining liquid. You should have a reasonably solid cheese left after about an hour, looking like this.

Cut into blocks and make paneer receipes.
