Directions
Non-Fat Paneer,I just love the aromatics and flavors of Indian food. Unfortunately, many establishments prepare dishes with generous amounts of ghee or clarified butter, an unwelcome addition for those who are watching their caloric or cholesterol intake. Not wanting to give up the lovely flavors, Ive begun to delve into recipes that allow me to prepare my favorite dishes at home. Paneer is easy to prepare and is a staple in many Indian dishes, especially vegetarian entrees and appetizers.,What do you do with the whey? Can whey from skim milk be used like other whey?,used 2% organic milk and got a 2″ sphere of paneer. I’ve used vinegar for lemon juice; they both work. I prefer my paneer to be spreadable, so I’ve learned not to squeeze out EVERY bit of whey. It doesn’t melt, so it doesn’t do well in macaroni-and-cheese or in chicken florentine (tasty, but not like the usual). Very tasty stuff, and the only cheese I can eat (without those dairy consequences) right now!
