Perfect paneer

Paneer is a fresh cheese common in South Asian cuisine made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice, vinegar, or any other food acids.  The curds are drained in muslin or cheesecloth and the excess water is pressed out.
Dating back to ancient India, paneer remains the most common type of cheese used in traditional South Asian cuisines. The use of paneer is more common in Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh due to the prominence of milk in their cuisine. It is sometimes wrapped in dough and deep-fried or served with either spinach (palak paneer) or peas (mattar paneer).
Though it's possible to make paneer yourself if you have an afternoon to spare, Woolworths now stocks this South Asian staple, offering you convenient authenticity. Boasting a firm, slightly crumbly texture and mild, milky taste, this unaged cheese is a treat in spicy Indian curries or skewered and pan-fried. R199.99 per kg. Available at selected stores.
