Homemade methi flavored paneer is an easy to make vegetarian cheese. All you need is milk and yogurt.
Ingredients
  • 4 Cups of Milk (full fat)
  • ½ Cup yogurt / Curd
  • 1 Tbsp of Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves)
Instructions
  1. Heat the milk and bring it to a boil, when it starts to rise, add dried methi leaves, stir it. Put the flame in medium, add yogurt or lemon juice.
  2. Now the milk starts to curdle, if your milk has not begin to curdle, add one more teaspoon. Stir the milk continuously till the whey separates.
  3. Keep the bowl beneath the cheese cloth or strainer, immediately pour it. If you are using strainer, press it with back of your spoon. Collect your whey, I use that whey to make soft chapathi.
  4. Now sqeeeze the cloth or strainer and collect the remaining whey.
  5. If you are using strainer, put this coagulated milk in a cloth, wrap it tightly in the form of circle. Place this in a plate and on the top, place a heavy weight. I used my cast iron pan.
  6. After 45 minutes, your flavored paneer is ready.
  7. Chop the paneer into cubes or whatever shape you like and refrigerate it .
  8. Homemade Methi Flavored Paneer is ready to use in your curry.
Notes
Always use good quality milk, either full fat or 2% milk. You cannot get paneer from skimmed milk.
you can use cheese cloth or strainer to separate the whey from coagulated milk.
To coagulate the milk, you can use yogurt or vinegar or lemon juice.
