Ingredients

Equipment

Directions

Step 1

Pour milk into Large Sauce Pan and bring slowly to a boil on medium heat to high heat, stirring constantly with the spatuler.

Step 2

Once it boils, immediately remove from stove to prevent boil over, and add the juice from three lemons. (1/4 cup of juice). Stir until curds and whey are separated. If not separating, return to heat, it will work magic.

Step 3

Place cheesecloth in collander. Pour the curds into the cheese cloth, watching for steam. Rinse with water to remove lemon juice flavor. Squeeze out the water.

Step 4

Place squished cheese in cheesecloth in a bowl and add the weight on top. Put in the fridge and wait 20 minutes until cold.

Step 5

Remove from cheesecloth. Slice up the cheese into cubes. Mix with turmeric, oil and pepper flakes.

Step 6

Saute cheese in pan on one side for 5 minutes on medium to high heat. It should brown a bit, stir and brown again for 3 more minutes, then remove. It is now ready to be eaten or added to Saag Paneer.
