How to make paneer

 

Paneer is Indian cottage cheese, and is very simple and easy to make and is very similar to ricotta. To make paneer, you just need 2 ingredients, so why not give it a try…

 

Ingredients:
4 cups of whole milk (must be whole milk)
juice of 1 lemon mixed with 1 tbsp water

Method:
1. Put the milk into a saucepan and gently bring to the boil, stirring the milk so that it doesn’t stick.
2. As the milk is boiling, add the lemon juice and water mixture. The milk will start splitting straight away, and you will see solid lumps (curds) and the liquid will look like cloudy water (whey). If you milk starts splitting but hasn’t quite split fully, add some more lemon juice.
3. Line a colander with muslin cloth and strain the mixture, rinse with a little cold water to remove the lemon juice from the curds. Bring together the 4 corners of the cloth and twist them together, so you can squeeze as much liquid out of the curds as possible.
4. Leaving the cloth wrapped tightly around the curds, put it on a plate, and put something heavy, like a saucepan, on top of the curds to weigh them down. Put the curds in the fridge, with the saucepan on top, and chill for about an hour. Now, you have paneer!

Karen Taylor October 2018

We are having such fun cooking from The Spice Pack Collection and all the dishes have come out brilliantly. The smell is divine and Rob, who is very fussy, is particularly impressed. All our visitors are wowed when they smell the box – we’ve been too possessive to share any with others, as yet!

As a natural therapist I particularly appreciate the healthy aspect of each dish, none of which compromise on taste. Good ingredients freshly cooked makes a big difference.

We’re going on holiday with three other couples in a couple of weeks and going to take the pack with us to cook some dishes together.

“That was so fun…

Thank you for the zoom meet up. That was so fun. We will definitely be up for another. Please send another suitable invite and kit. We are predominately veggies so used the butternut squash version. If this continue the local takeaway will suffer for sure. Again thanks”.

Pam Brown – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Thank you so much both…

– the class was amazing and we both really enjoyed the food. It makes so much difference knowing exactly how to do things and that we can make such tasty food which is gluten free. Jeera rice has always been my favourite but many restaurants don’t have it on the menu”.

Sylvia M – dinner kit with cook-along customer

Roy P…dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Many thanks…
...for the cook–along workshop yesterday. It was very enjoyable and the meal tasted lovely. As someone who is not a confident cook it was ideal to follow your teaching. I have recommended this to a friend of mine who is very interested in joining the next cook–along. I will definitely be doing it again”.

Ellie Pipe

I highly recommend this lovely family run local company…

... We’ve enjoyed 2 of their meal kits now along with an online cook along to show us what to do. Thank you.

Diane McGillivray

I love them all and would highly recommend…

...If I had to choose one it would be the Mango chicken.
