Yes, Paneer is easy to make. And fun and hella tasty! It's a bit fiddly once you first get into it, but the time invested is well worth it, and then you can also make other simple fresh cheeses with the same skills and formula.

Have a recipe or article to share? I'm going to make some on my next free weekend.

Make sure you read and familiarize yourself with the directions before starting! Oh, and there is one part of it that's BS, the temperature. You do NOT need to heat the milk to 200f. 165 is my target temperature. 200f gets you scalded milk and a mess.

DO NOT USE UHT MILK. UHT is nearly impossible to curdle. This means you cant use some of the widely available organic milks like Horizon and Organic Valley. Check your labels.

Has anyone had any decent results making naan bread at home? I have tried a few recipes/methods but it never really comes close to stuff from a proper tandoor oven.

My mom does the dough in the bread maker and fries it up one at a time on the stove top. Turns out pretty good, but I have little legit naan experience.

Yo, so I'm dating a Kerala guy. He's very into eating everything, no qualms about beef or pork products. He's a total macho-man about spice and heat, cant faze the guy. What's a fun bread, cracker or cookie type thing I could make for him to snack on that he might appreciate? I know he'd like anything I made, fallback is just make oatmeal dried fruit cookies, but I want to try branching out into indian food more than chicken tika and butter chicken.

My boyfriend had me try Paan last night and my mouth still tastes like rosewater soap and cumin. At least my teeth arn't red any more though.

But we did go to a Bawarchi Biryanis, which was pretty darn good! Got the Mysore Masala Dosa and Chicken Biryani.

Blut blegh, Paan is not for me.

Double posting because I live on the edge and follow my own rules.

My wife made it a couple nights ago. Fantastic even though she forgot the onion. I think she cut the red pepper in half, which is fine by me. I could take it hotter, but even medium salsa is too much for her so we make food for the weakest tongue.

Sounds good! You definitely want some onion in there though. Very important. People in India literally riot when onions are threatened.

If you want an easy way to add heat without messing too bad with flavor for the individual pallete, get some chilli oil and drop on to your liking.

I'm gonna try again to make Boyfriend Dal this week. He makes the bast drat Dal I've ever tasted, and I just can't get the trick of it.

We usually just ask for extra chilies or chili oil on the side.

Does anyone have any experience in Chennai? Specifically, by the US Embassy? BF's going to be stuck there for a week doing visa poo poo, he's kinda down on the whole situation and thinks it's going to suck. Anything cool to do or can't miss restaurants over there?

It's always amazing to me that India never developed much variety of cheese or pasta.

what about paneer tho?



Harry Potter on Ice posted:

Cheese isn't common in India because cattle are sacred and most people are lactose intolerant. Paneer is made without rennet. Obviously someone please correct me this is just what I learned when I was there years ago. India was so cool

Paneer is an acid fixed cheese. But there have been known sources of vegetable rennet since at least the ancient Greeks. With so much milk, it's just weird that none of it ever accidentally cheesed

Gravy and curry and used pretty interchangeably in my house now. What is sauce? Just another kind of gravy, apparently.
