Paneer
Paneer was made for curry, the creaminess of the curd when enveloped in a delicious korma sauce is completely divine. Oh thank you Thermomix.
With virtually the same process as Queso Fresco, bar the pressing of the curd, this recipe will have you just whipping it up again and again. It is completely amazing. I love it. Then add it to the Korma recipe that we have floating around on here somewhere. Your children's children will be thanking me! Best to give yourself a day for the curd to compress and be very very gentle with it once you have a solid piece. You cheesemaker you!!
