Home made Paneer or Tofu

I thought to start writing more on my cooking success as well, just so I can improve upon just like knitting. 


This week I tried my hand making Paneer (as called in India) I think its the closest to tofu as I understand.


Simply put I find it very easy to make it at home with just milk and lime, the best part I like is, Paneer is just so fresh and soft. From few months I have actually stopped buying that outside. Home made tastes pretty good.


Here is how it looked before

After stir frying 

It turned out to be wonderful dinner with plain rice. Even my little one loves eating the chewy Paneer so I guess I get my reward with just a little time put making Paneer.

One more thing I learned a quick trick of pressing Paneer so within an hour its well pressed and ready to be cut in squares and fried. Will try to post the link when I find it, however what I do know that all you do is, put the paneer between two cutting boards and I place two lifting weights 8 pound each on top. This helps in getting a very good shape in just about an hour. Will try to take more pictures of the steps when I make them next time.
