Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis dish looked soooooo delicious and simple that the moment I saw it I made it.... it is yummy !!!!
I'll always be looking for Paneer recipes and I have to say that this is the best.
Thanks for posting such simple a delicious recipe.
Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it
wuts da difference between paneer and cheese?
ReplyDeleteCheese and Paneer are prepared by splitting milk and pressing the milk solids.
ReplyDeleteThe splitting is done using enzymes in the case of cheese and using sourlime in the case of paneer.
Paneer is fresh whereas Cheese is allowed to mature where some micro-organisms also play a part.
so basically if you boil the milk and add lemon juice, and once it splits get rid of the liquid you end up with paneer?
ReplyDeleteyes, boil milk, let it come to room temperature then add lemon juice. Once it splits... tie it in a moslin cloth to drain excess water. Paneer is ready... or easier to buy it from any desi shop... its also called as cottage cheese
ReplyDeletethnx Daagh

ReplyDeleteHi...
ReplyDeleteI am regular visitor of your blog.. Every recipe is different.. I like almost all :) but not this one.. I tried this at home with curd and everything but it appears quite sour to me... Suggest something else than using only curd .. otherwise dish looks great..
oh... sorry to know that your dish turned out too sour may be because of the kind of yoghurt you used... we use greek style set yoghurt which is not too sour. May be you can try using a couple of table spoons of tomato puree...
