Ingredients

3 liters milk
Juice from two lemons
Spices or fresh herbs depending on the dish (optional)

 

Equipment

A cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel
A strainer

 

Directions

Bring the milk to a boil or slightly below boiling temperature, add lemon juice until the liquid separates and forms small pieces looking like cottage cheese.

Place the cheesecloth in a strainer and pour the separated liquid through the cheesecloth. Cover the crumbled cheese with the cloth and place a weight on top to press out the last liquid and shape a nice ball, leave it to rest like this overnight in the fridge.

Die Milch zum Kochen bringen oder knapp darunter, Zitronensaft zufügen, bis die Milch gerinnt und Flocken bildet, die wie Hüttenkäse aussehen.

Das Käsetuch in das Sieb legen und die geronnene Milch hineingießen. Die Käseflocken in das Tuch einschlagen und mit einem Gewicht beschweren, um die Flüssigkeit ganz herauszupressen und eine runde Form zu erhalten. Über Nacht im Kühlschrank ruhen lassen. Am nächsten Tag sorgfältig auspacken und den Paneer-Ball heraus nehmen. Er sollte fest sein und beim Schneiden nicht auseinander fallen. Würfel beliebiger Größe schneiden und in Öl mit Gewürzen braten. Als Beilage servieren oder einem Gemüsegericht beimischen.
