This recipe started out (once upon a time) as a simple Paneer but, I just can't seem to leave anything alone for long 8-). This is a great recipe for the beginning cheesemaker.
Paneer, like many fresh cheeses, is a snap to make. Two ingredients, little time and almost zero skill. I’ve most often run across this cheese in spinach curry dishes like Palak Paneer or Saag/Sag Paneer.
