Rediscover Authentic Flavour, the Healthy Way
In today’s world of overly processed foods and mystery ingredients, it’s hard to know what’s truly good for your body. At Mayur Indian Kitchen, we’re going back to the basics – with one delicious mission:
✅ Bring back real, fresh, homemade paneer!
And now, we’re showing you how to do it too! 😍💪
🌿 Why Fresh Paneer is a Must in Your Kitchen
Paneer, often called Indian cottage cheese, is a staple in Indian cooking – and making it fresh changes everything.
✨ Pure & Nutritious
Fresh paneer is soft, rich in protein, packed with calcium, and free from preservatives. It’s excellent for growing children, working adults, and even the elderly.
🍛 Boosts Curry Flavour
Unlike store-bought versions, fresh paneer soaks up spices and gravy like a sponge – giving your curry an unbelievably creamy, authentic taste.
🧑🍳 Easy Step-by-Step Recipe to Make Paneer at Home
We’re excited to share our MIK secret method to create soft, tasty paneer in your own kitchen.
Step 1️⃣: Prepare the Milk
Take 1 litre of full-fat fresh milk 🥛. You may optionally mix in a spoonful of whole milk powder for richness. Pour into a clean saucepan.
Step 2️⃣: Mix Smooth
If using milk powder, blend the milk with a beater until smooth. Add a little water if needed 💧.
Step 3️⃣: Bring to Boil
Heat the milk, stirring continuously to avoid sticking or burning 🔥🌀.
Step 4️⃣: Curdle the Milk
Add lemon juice 🍋 or vinegar to the hot milk to curdle it. Watch as soft white curds separate from the whey.
Pro Tip: Add chopped ginger, methi leaves, or fresh coriander 🌿 to infuse natural flavour into your paneer.
Step 5️⃣: Strain It
Use a clean muslin cloth or fine sieve to separate the curds. Let it cool, then squeeze out all excess water 🧺❄️.
Step 6️⃣: Chill and Set
Place the curds in the fridge to firm up. Once set, cut the block into neat cubes 🔲.
Step 7️⃣: Cook Something Amazing!
