Making cheese at home sounds daunting, difficult, and all of those other words we attach to things we would rather have someone else do for us.
It’s true, making some cheese is insanely complex and requires a skill set I will most likely never possess. Paneer though, is something I can make. If you can boil things, you can make it too.
