Home made Paneer

You can make excellent paneer at home without being overboard. It is very simple you could make it while preparing the dinner just make sure you keep an eye on the boiling milk. I made it for the third time now using the same process and it was soft and tender every time. If you have any milk that is nearing expiry date this is the best way to use it.




Recipe

Ingredients
Makes 250grms of Paneer 
Milk- 1/2 gallon ( 2.4 liters) (I used half and half milk)
Lemon juice-5tbsp
Cheese cloth or any fresh cloth to filter



Method
Boil milk in a thick bottom pan (I used pressure cooker without lid). Simmer when it starts to boil and add 2tbsp of lemon juice and keep stirring, you should see the solid fat that is getting separated from the liquid. After two minutes keep adding the lemon juice little by little until you see pale yellow liquid with floating white  fat and do not forget to keep stirring while adding the lemon juice. You can also add white Vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice or you can use the combination of both. Now filter the fat on to a cheese cloth and take the paneer in to a bowl when it is cooled. Also make sure you squeeze entire water out of paneer. Now kneed the paner like a dough and make it like a ball and shape it like a block on a cheese cloth. Fill a heavy pot with water and place it for 3hrs on a paneer warped in a cheese cloth. After 3hrs firm paneer will be ready and you can cut them in to small blocks or store it as it is in the deep freezer. It will stay good for 30days.

A Tease a Taste and a Trip Home

Michele and I are traveling to New York State to see my family, including my mom Pauline (you may remember her from such video recipes as "Key Lime Pie").

As usual Ill try and post from the road, and hopefully share a few photos (videos?) of what
ever family feasts ensue.

These photos are a tease to some video recipes I plan on filming when I get back to San Francisco. These were taken last night during a dinner with cousin Tony and Nora (you may remember them from such posts as "The "Found on Foodbuzz" 24-Item Tasting Menu").

Pictured here (at night with annoying flash lighting): a new salmon technique I think Ive perfected, salmon filet tied with salmon belly; whole-wheat flatbread; and individual apple "tart tartin" with ginger snap crust.

Finally, a little taste of something many of you have asked for… written recipes!!!

Thanks to a new venture by a loyal viewer, we could soon have transcripts for all my original recipe videos. Im not sure exactly how they will be distributed yet, but stay tuned for details to follow! Enjoy!
