Chenna or Paneer

Chenna is an another variety of Indian cottage cheese prepared from fresh milk.

Ingredients:

•          500 Milk of full fat Milk

•          3 tbsp of lime juice

Method:

•          Bring the milk to boiling and then turn of the flame and leave it for 1to 2 min.

•          Now add 2 tbsp of the lime juice and stir gently. You will find that the cheese starts separating from the whey. If it still seems milky, add some more lime juice.

•           When the cheese has completely separated it will about 2-3 mins and pour into a colander lined with a cheesecloth or clean cotton cloth. Run this under some cold water at the sink. (This step is to remove the flavor of the lime  juice imparts to the cheese.)

•          Gather the ends and squeeze tightly. Tie a knot and hang it over a tap and leave it to drain for 30 mins.

•          chenna is done.
