COTTAGE CHEESE (PANEER)

May 21, 2013 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

Cottage cheese or Paneer is a dish that is extensively used in north Indian cooking. Everyone intending on experimenting with Indian cooking should have a good recipe for paneer. While most people buy cottage cheese off the shelf, I feel that store bought cottage cheese cannot match the taste and texture of home-made cottage cheese. The recipe of cottage cheese is similar to that of home-made ricotta cheese, the difference being the texture. While cottage cheese is firmer, ricotta cheese has a fine moist texture.

Ingredients
  • Milk, 1 litre
  • Sour curds, 1 cup
  • Juice from 1 lime
Instructions
  1. Boil the milk.
  2. Once it starts boiling, add the sour curds and lime juice.
  3. Stir till the cheese separates from the whey.
  4. Line a colander with a piece of muslin cloth.
  5. Drain the cottage cheese on the colander to remove the whey.
  6. Gather the edges of the cloth and fasten them into a knot and allow the whey to drain.
  7. Now place a heavy object over the cottage cheese (this helps in draining the whey faster) for about ten minutes.
  8. If the cheese is not for immediate consumption, transfer the cheese to an air tight container and refrigerate.
