Herbed / Spiced / Masala Paneer Recipe

Recipe By Bethica Das

#Paneer - Paneer (Cottage Cheese) is very commonly used in many Indian cuisine. Homemade paneer is the best option as it is inexpensive and easy to prepare. So how about turning plain paneer into a herbed and spiced variety? They come out just awesome, appetizing and visually appealing too. You can slightly pan fry them and enjoy as an appetizer with a sprinkle of your favourite seasoning. It can also be added to salad or can be made into your favorite curry for the main course.

Ingredients for Herbed / Spiced / Masala Paneer Recipe

  • 0.33 Litre full fat milk
  • 0.67 Tbsp lemon juice diluted with water
  • 0.17 Tsp salt
  • 0.33 Tsp flax seeds
  • 0.33 Tsp cumin seeds
  • 0.33 Tsp red chili flakes

Directions: Herbed / Spiced / Masala Paneer Recipe

  • STEP 1. Bring the milk to a boil. Add all the spices and herbs to it. Then gently pour the diluted lemon water, little at a time, and keep stirring till the milk begins to curdle.
  • STEP 2. Switch off the flame and keep it covered for 2-3 minutes. Pour the curdled milk in a colander, lined with a muslin cloth. (Keep a bowl underneath to collect the whey).
  • STEP 3. Add plain water to remove the smell of lemon from it. Then bring all the edges of the cloth together and gently squeeze to remove any excess whey.
