Re: Paneer

its a vegetarian dish as opposed to chicken tikka. cubes of paneer and vegetables are roasted on a skewer just like u roast chicken tikka.

Re: Paneer

paneer is an excellent source of protein. It is made by boiling milk then pouring in a few tbs of vinegar or lemon juice to break it into solids. Then you strain it into a cheesecloth and the curdled solids are paneer. If you put a heavy block over the paneer, it will become hard like tofu.

Some dishes:
1. paneer stir fry with bell peppers
2. paneer bhujia like egg bhujia
3. paneer pakorey
4. paneer matter...either in gravy or dry
5. palak paneer
6. shahi paneer which is paneer cooked in spicy gravy

Re: Paneer

its really easy to make, pretty much what niksik said. i use the juice of a couple of lemons and salt instead of the vinegar coz it adds a nicer smell to the paneer. the firmer you want it, the longer you let it float around in the whey before draining it. its best if you drain it asap and stays soft, almost ricotta-like. you can use the whey to cook rice, basmati turns out very fluffy when cooked in whey.

Re: Paneer

You can also use the whey to "goondoh" aata. The aata is very soft and bouncy.
