I've lived in Scotland for three years before coming back home to Italy. When I was there I discovered paneer (and Indian cuisine honestly) and since I've come back home I've been desperately looking for it but it's nowhere to be found 😢 and thanks to you I can now try and make it myself at home. I can finally make Palak paneer!!

I adore your Butter Paneer ( I don’t eat meat) so this has been very helpful. I usually use store bought paneer and after seeing this there is no reason to continue doing so. In fact I live near a dairy farm so I’ll be getting some fresh milk from them! 🐄 🧀

Thanks Chetna, I'll be trying out home made paneer this week after seeing how simple it is. I'm a meat eater, but since making my first paneer curry recently, I find I prefer it to something like a chicken curry. I just love the taste and texture of paneer and now I can do the whole thing myself . . . . woohoo ☺

I am so incredibly happy that I "bumped into" your masterclass. This skill I can use for the rest of my days. Thank you so much!

What an amazing masterclass! I've been curious about this cheese for a long time and for my surprise it has the same elaboration process of the queso fresco (which I love being from south america). This is such a discovery for me, specially because I didn't know that you can add herbs to this kind of cheese! I am really grateful for all your beautiful and useful videos! Thanks! Hugs from Canada

I made your paneer recipe yesterday and it turned out fantastic!! Your instructions were so clear and helpful. I am in the US, so I used 1/2 gallon of whole milk and about 2 Tbs vinegar mixed with 2 Tbs water. I am excited to make the recipe again. Thanks for teaching me a new skill!!

Thank you for such a good demonstration. I learned from the comments under a tofu making video that paneer is made in the same way using dairy instead of soy milk. I love paneer but it is quite expensive where I am (more so in the recent past) I could only have it as a rare treat. Thankfully milk is still relatively affordable, so that's about to change. 160 grams of paneer from 1 litre of milk is a great cost saving compared to buying the ready made stuff. I just successfully made tofu with soymilk from scratch (making the milk was a whole sport 😮‍💨), so I should be able to manage this quite easily. I'm excited to give it a go tonight.

I have lived in Pennsylvania all my life and I am not indian, but I love learning to make different foods from different parts of the world, especially since my mother got me interested in penpals and friends from many parts of the world when I was a kid. I don't have or use muslin cloths but I use a clean old pillowcase. Works just as well. This is similar to our American cottage cheese.

Lovely alternatives, Chetna. I usually only use plain yogurt, which does result in a nice soft textured paneer. Will definitely try the lemon juice next time I make paneer. I stopped buying store bought paneer years ago, since trying making using yogurt. It's cheaper and tastier to make ones own. Hope your floor tile didn't crack with that pestle falling!!

I’ve only made paneer with yoghurt, not lemon or vinegar, and it cam out very crumbly, I probably didn’t weight it for long enough as whatever I was using as a weight kept falling off, just like yours did! 😂 I have got a tofu press, so might try using that (I had the same problem with the weights falling off when pressing tofu, the press is amazing!) Can’t wait for your paneer recipe, I just tried your mushroom and cashew recipe, it was DELICIOUS!

Firstly, thanks for making this super helpful masterclass. I've been following you for a while (from the Great British baking show) and I love all your content. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise with the world. I have a question: If lemon juice concentrate is all I've got aside from vinegar, can I still use it and should I mix it with water when using it. Or would you suggest I stick with vinegar if I don't have fresh lemons?

I'm always on the lookout for simple recipes for my resort in Bali- I run a health and wellness resort where we serve only vegetarian (locally sourced and fresh, except for Indian grains) food. I have taught my chefs many Indian dishes- will point them to your channel. Incidentally 'makan' in Indonesian means food, it's also a verb which means eat! Perfect.
