Making Paneer at Home

Today, Kulsum from Journey Kitchen shares a recipe for a versatile Indian staple: fresh paneer. Considering that India is one of the largest milk producing countries in the world, it is rather surprising that it doesn't have a major cheese-making culture. You won't find stinky and moldy cheeses in the shops that line India's busy, narrow streets -- but almost every dairy shop carries paneer, an immensely popular fresh cheese. Paneer is such a dominant culinary symbol in India because, unlike other cheeses, it doesn’t require animal rennet. This makes it perfect for the predominantly vegetarian Indian diet.

I like to compare paneer to the humble potato. The ingredients here are basic, but the methodology is important to follow for the best results. Homemade Paneer. Confused about curry (powder) No, Ship Brand ‘Green Label’ Madras curry powder is an old line (estd. 1883) Indian export product.

That said, it seems to impart the desired curry punch to those Thai/Singapore dishes I’ve tried it in. It’s a little odd in that it comes with a handful of whole bay leaves stuffed into the jar. I usually make up a specific spice mixture for each major Indian dish I make but I just use canned curry powder for the other Asian dishes. How to make Paneer at home.

For this green chutney, I’ve added coconut, which gives it a southern flair, where coconut palms dot the landscape.
