Good paneer can be made from milk which contains 5 % more fat than normal milk.
Therefore, buffalo milk is more suitable for preparing paneer. To curdle milk for paneer, add citric
acid or lime juice to heated milk. Strain the curdled milk through a muslin cloth and
squeeze out all the whey.
Paneer is the most popular
form of cheese that is prepared in Indian homes and used generously in cooking and
confectioneries like rosogullas and sandesh.
If you want to cut paneer into
a particular shape then place the paneer in a rectangular tray and it will take that shape
while setting. In this way it will be easier to cut into squares, triangles, etc.
Grated paneer can be used to
decorate a simple dish and make it look quite tempting. Even a paneer burji can make your
breakfast more lively.
Vegetarian cooking looks and
tastes a lot more delicious, as the soft color of paneer heightens the colors of the other
ingredients.
Paneer not only looks but also
tastes delicious. No wonder it has carved a niche for itself in the vegetarian world.
