"Paneer is a type of cheese first made in the Indian subcontinent that is called for in many Indian recipes. It is easy to make and since it does not require the use of rennet, it's completely vegetarian. To make it yourself, all you need is milk, an acid (like lemon or lime juice) and these instructions. Also you need a cheesecloth."

...or make Laban, then form into cheese nuggets:

Sounds interesting---need to try it


If you are making laban , Balkan-style yoghurt is excellent. You can also use laban in place of mayo or sour cream in most cold plate dishes (e.g. devilled eggs, sandwiches, etc).




When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

I make a homemade style spread with a gallon of milk and 1/4 cup of vinegar. Just heat up the milk and add the acid. Very simple to make. Once you skim and drain the curd you can add anything to spice it up...or sweeten it up to make ricotta.

Obviously, the more fat content in the milk the more curd but I've used 2% in a pinch.

I've purchased cottage cheese in Baja on many occasions. I like the Imperial brand. It's delicious!



Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
