Most of us are addicted to paneer. Kids really love these freshly made cute white babies dressed in spicy sauce paired up with fresh made rotis. This fresh milk cheese is a true staple in Indian cooking, which is no surprise given how well it's mild flavor and chewy texture goes with spiced up curries. Paneer is made by curdling warmed milk with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar. The curds are then drained and pressed into a solid block. It's ready to be used as soon as it's made and won't keep for more than a few days-as it's curdled with an acid instead of rennet, paneer doesn't melt when heated. Very fresh paneer that hasn't been pressed for very long tends to be more crumbly and is best for using in sauces and wraps.
