[seven1111able]

i thought f making paneer is not easy.ur method is z easiest way.thanks.

[sasikalaselvi]

thanks sir!! i have wasted money by buying paneer in shops....

[themomo6710]

could i use spoiled milk?

[amiastonishing]

wat ilk hv u used n u hv nt given any measuremwnts....y

[marindahhh]

great n ez recipe, but noe measurements????????? for kitchen clutzez like me its hard to work without the measurements. can u please tell us the vinegar to milk ratio???

[YTfancol]

Great video !!

Thanks :-)

[supersuplfc]

thank you so much for your shared.

[mizzquenn619]

Hey Chef,

My paneer turned out to be so soft and i have no idea what to do.

It didn't turn out to be like yours :( mine more to sticky and crumbly. i wonder how you could form them into cubes without them breaking apart.

[jesusrulezify]

this s really very usefull...... thank you chef.... u're videos r really inspiring:-)

[prettydoll10]

can i use tea filter cloth instead?

[salmeen]

@prettydoll10 use ur mouth

[hahaiamnotfunny]

@prettydoll10 Tea filter cloth wouldn't work because, the size of the gaps is too large when compared to a muslin cloth. What the tea filter will do is start engraving into the paneer leaving Hatch marks. Worst case scenario is if you have too much pressure, it will start slicing the paneer.

[bshree1]

wow its so easy ...i like all the receipes from vah re vah...thanks for giving such a nice receipe....

[MultiBrightsmile]

did he say you can use an old sari just make sure its clean yaar?

[kylometa72]

what do you do with the whey?

[1reenabenny]

tnank u very much brother for sharing this recipe u know my kids love paneer very much and now i make so many food, thanks Sanjay.

[007bimmi]

I am going to add hearbs in my paneer 2day.....i make paneer alot nd u have solved my problem by saying not to put too much weight on the paneer coz my paneer used to be so hard,only one problem i have now which is the milk sticking on the bottom of the pan...mmm 

[tanya51050]

u r rellie rellie gooood!

[phgandhi20]

hey chef i am using same recipe makig paneer. but my paneer is nor curdled. i am using enough vinegerbut i am not getting good paneer. asmilk n whey is not seprating.can u helpme with that

[hahaiamnotfunny]

@phgandhi20 Hi, i know i am not the chef, but i am a son of a chef. The best thing you can do, is try getting 3.25 milk. Because the more fat in your milk the better your paneer will turn out. If you are still having problems try using lime juice, because it wont leave a pungent smell like the excess vinegar would, allowing you to add a bit more lime juice.

[IEBahumut234]

u r the best chef

[83swati]

Chef its always a nice twist to your evry recipe...like the idea of herbs. But whenever I make paneer at home, It is not homogeneous as it can b seen in your case, mine is always with some chunks of milk in it. Can you please suggest why it is so and what can be done to avoid it?

[penusenvy]

You can buy muslin panels for windows from Ikea, you get loads of cloth that way. They are very cheap too.

[penusenvy]

Hey thanks for this. I am going to pinch this idea of adding herbs when I make tofu. Brilliant.

[rakhello]

thanks cheef...what type of milk ..mean  .....% fat

[ilinaeternity]

@rakhello You should use whole milk :)

[fergalcronin76]

awesome, thank you chef.

[ItsFuckingNikh]

That looks awesome!

[Sieberliebangbang]

What else can i use is if don thave cheesecloth?

[controlfreak451]

@Sieberliebangbang us a cotton handkerchief. It works wonders.

[ambrishgoswami]

this looks yum.

[PaulineLyciene2]

Can you make salty paneer??

[PhantomAct]

what's the ratio of milk to lime juice?

[nyls86]

thank you for you recipe chef!u r really great.cud u tell me the propotion of milk and lime/vinegar..as in for 1 litre milk how much vinegar/lime do i use?

[9aspengold5]

Can you freeze paneer?

[mariamelo1]

Que tempero é esse?

[dejavousmale]

I always learn something from this chef. Hes good. The idea of putting cumin seeds black pepper and mint is awesome.The Bukhara people in New Delhi wont be too happy :).......Thanx for sharing

[deeejey1]

i luv the way chef explains. he not only gives the ingredients but also he tells the reason why we are doing. Iahve observed in his many videos that he also duggest the alternatives where he feels that viewer will ahve challange in this video he gave alternative to MAslin cloth and wiht noi pomp and show.. he said Saree can be used..

I really appreciate it. he is down to earth no hifi things... he keeps no secrets with him...

Great Job chef.... ;-)

[rejstubeworld]

[MissMariJuanaa]

[tulsablahblah]

@hijklmnop36 I made this recipe a few days ago. I let it get harder that this video. I cut it into wedges and pan fried it in some oil and it got crispy. It stayed together and just got a little soft on the inside.

[74jockj6]

Can we use normal milk or have to use full cream milk

[scrumptiousindia]

Here's a great paneer mushroom tikka recipe - squidoo.com/paneer-mushroom-ti­kka

[seenataghavi]

thanks chef

you are awesome as always

but i have a question

what about salt. can we add salt to it too?so our cheese is a bit salty? would you recommend that?

[samugrose]

this was amazing... i just decided to try it out, and it really works! it was delicious! i used the juices from a salsa i had, as well as some chili powder and black pepper, with a dash of parsley. just made a ~1 tablespoon serving of it, and it was amazing. thank you chef, for liberating my mind!!!

[weedngrass]

Chef what if you boil your milk and find it curdles. Can you use that to make cheese or paneer??

[weedngrass]

Chef what if you boil your milk and find it curdles. Can you use that to make cheese??

[LadyLatias]

One method I have seen of making paneer is just shifting it from the pan into a wire sieve and letting all the liquid drain out, before just dumping the curds of cheese into a pan and frying it. What do you make of this method?

[fouzleadz]

u talk more chef but u r really very nice inspiring us...

THANK U..

[qartaki]

ur da best !

[vitamineb4]

GOOD RECIPE BUT HE TALK TOO MUCH

[bhaktisoni]

This is such an amazing recipe!!! I have yet to find a recipe from you that is not impressive....great job!!

[cielsky13]

wow chef that is some beautiful looking cheese i wanna try making at home..

[noddysmiley]

Thanks for this video. I'm a vegetarian living in Australia and I've found it near impossible to find paneer for sale in the shops so maybe I'll try making it myself :)

[dineshkandalkar]

i believe this was the best ever variation of Paneer.. Excellent sanjay...

[anishah00]

when i make paneer it kinda crumbles up while I try to cut into pieces or use in any dish. what should I do to make perfect paneer. Your panner looks just perfect, but wehn I follow your recipe it crumbles up.

[BK8600]

my mom makes the best paneer. my friend ate it and moved. 4 years later she reminded me when my mom made it. lol

[rtoriq]

i can't hear!!!

[sweetuv]

looks awwsome.. when i make it the cheese kinda crumbles up a bit n does not look like the store bought one.. ny suggestions?

[ArgoSG]

can you add salt to make the cheese salty tasting?

[Shayamalam]

@ArgoSG yeah u coult add salt - but i wouldn´t do this it´s much more better with out salt - if you have a salty-spicie souce you needn´t salty paneer...

[supraja]

what happened to the sound???? can barely hear anything

[Shayamalam]

@supraja maybe he/she/it is deaf...

[oryxfreeride]

I never knew it would be so easy. Milk and Vinegar and let it drain. mmm, who would have thought. Indian food is awesome :)

[MiNdLeSs1234567890]

nice but quantities?

[CT2507]

beautifull!!

[Mussawarx]

Thanx man

[brazen59xx]

thanks for sharing this recipe. What a nice friendly chef......x

[IEBahumut234]

@brazen59xx i love it

[scimg]

I've never heard anything but praise for its appearance.

[nccoder]

Bet you could make a nice paneer from goats milk!

[nka82]

I am a halfie too! I don't know what you mean by how people judge Indian food by looks? maybe it's because i grew up eating it, but it looks amazing to me.

I can't wait to try this paneer recipe, I'm so tired of spending $4 to buy a small block of paneer at the Indian store x-(

[bugwitch]

How long would this be good for?  If I make it & have some left over, will it store in the fridge safely for any length of time?

Thanks! I can't wait to put this to use!

[mrj3ro3n]

It's realy easy...this was my favorite food in india...gonnna try this sometime soon..

[underscore0]

Would I get more amounts of paneer while using Heavy Whipping cream instead of 2% milk?

[varun9t]

dont u have paneer tikka recipie ?

in the oven or grill whatever

[deannausernametaken]

I usually use an old (buch clean!) T-shirt for straining yogurt. For paneer, however, it gets stuck up the sides when I squeeze it. I guess I will have to buy cheesecloth or muslin - it loks so much easier.

[fuyufuyu]

I can't believe how easy this was! I have already made paneer 3 times this week!

[szdobos]

thank you, that was very useful!!

[mojave19]

Someone here mentioned cream--yikes, too much fat and calories. Do you think this can be made successfully with low fat milk? (I wouldn't try it with nonfat milk.)

Also, does anybody here know how much milk and lemon juice I should use if I am using U.S. measurements, i.e., quarts/gallons and how much of a cup of lemon juice? (Yes, I know, we're ridiculously stubborn! The U.S. should have gone metric decades ago.) Thanks--I'm really looking forward to making this. I LOVE Indian food!!

[MUZIKfactory2]

I'll make this today. I looked at Indian food blogs, 1/2 gallon milk, 2 Tablespoon lemon juice

[genista2001]

I made some today & used lemon juice instead of vinegar. 3 Litres full cream milk, 100ml lemon juice mixed with 100 ml water. Bring milk to the boil stirring, as it begins to simmer add lemon juice/water, stir for about 3 minutes to curdle & separate. Turn off stove. Leave for 15 min then pour into a colander lined with a fine cloth, .then do as he does in the recipe to get the moisture out of the cheese. I did not add any herbs as I want to use it in a dessert. Delicious!!

[mahwishsaleem]

do you know how to make khoya from paneer?

[exoticmistress]

Mmmmmm I can't wait to try this...looks soooo good....Indian food is so good and good for you with all the herbs and spices...Thank you for this video :-)

[kumarpras]

how to remove the lemon smell from the paneer???

[MuhamadMuslim]

Can somebody tell me what is Paneer???

[lalka554]

it is a kind of cottage cheese, only solid evaporated...

[m1foley]

I've been making paneer this way. It tastes better than any paneer I buy in the store, and it's very easy to make. Adding cumin seeds to it is a nice touch.

He mentions a "muslin cloth", but in the United States we call it a "cheese cloth".

[chandnee]

Vah re Vah is THE BEST

my most fav #1 chef :)

[hellonewman1]

I am downloading these movies and putting them on my wife's computer, so that my diet can be changed.

In the 80's, I was the family cook, exploring Indian, Mexican and Pizza recipes - authentic type.

I've lost the want to cook and the only Indian food I get is from MY early 80's recipes.

I want some Paneer Cheese now my sweetness of 33 years. (She's really a dragon - makes toast with her breath)

Thanks mate

[petithobbit]

Thanks so much, I will make it now! I bought whole milk and goat milk for a 2:1 ratio. Let's see if it's yummy! Isabelle de Montréal,canada.

[baneer]

haha thats funny...paneer is a type of Indian cheese

and baneer{my username} means cheese in Armenian

[su35supaflanka]

LOL!

[ktkbar]

Actually paneer came to india through turkish influence and hence the name paneer (same as turkish)

[middizen]

Add some more venigar! Just not too much. I use lemon when I make paneer, and it works really good for me!

[chanteuseCrystal]

this is great!

[igemini48]

Is paneer is kind of Italian matzarella cheese?

[BanditMiz]

no indian

[RaviKings]

no, is cottage cheese

[anirudhkrishnamani]

no,its a cottage cheese from which the whey is removed :P

[steuieee]

Paneer and cottage cheese are made in similar ways except paneer is made from whole milk and cottage cheese is made from skim milk.

[Floyoke]

A very clear detailed explanation. Thanks.

[faithm]

would adding salt to the milk do anything to effect the making of the cheese>

[niranjanbendre]

I never had masala paneer...

but I made it, used it in preparation and it was awesome...

Thanks!!!

[cutyeve]

Good expanation. Thank you

[Skippy22]

I want to make this, but need to know how many cups of milk to use?

[SquishyCow]

Just fill a pan about half way.

[Skippy22]

WOW, Sanjay! Is there anything you can't make?...lol. I'll tell you, ever since I came upon your videos my recipe book has been getting thicker. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.

[manju12123]

hi sanjay

thanx for telling us how to make paneer.but one thing i want to know that homemade paneer is never soft like the one available in market.can u plz tell me that is anything else they add to milk to make more soft.

[Floyoke]

Manju, Sanjay explained that if we use too much acid, it will be too soft.

He also said that we must not weigh it down too much.

Happy paneer making.

[andygaras]

i like you

[yogi1709]

ARE YOU FKING KIDDING ME??? I never thought making paneer was so easy..Ur the best!!!

[bestiaccia]

I want to try this!! It looks so simple! Thanks!

[netigen]

Which vinegar should be used?.Won't it leave bitter smell in the paneer?

[lucidreamboy]

Wonderful.Ive been looking for a recipe like this.I had no idea it a staple in Indian cooking.Thank you.

[rakesh1997]

thanks for the tips abt. adding apice. i tried it last night it tasted n looked great. paneer was soft but the paneer's outer surface was not smooth. means it showed the lines like that of cuddled pices. yours paneer surface was neat. can u tell me where i went wrong. is it the weight i put was not sufficent. aur ?

[pmaddamsetti]

Of course the up side of the paneer will always have a texture, because the twisted side of the cloth is not flat. The side he showed in the video was the bottom side of the paneer, which was pressed flat against the strainer. The look of the paneer is not very important anyway; the consistency is what you should judge.

[kuzuchin]

wonderful video.

my question is , can i use non fat milk to make this cheese ?

[flowerpottery]

you are so wonderful. you have such a large heart and great taste.

[entheogen84]

Fantastic video. Made me crave paneer big time though! Can't wait to make some saag paneer at home.

[bigwilly949]

hello,

thank you for all your videos,

would adding saffron work well with paneer, and also, could you translate your greeting at the beginning of your videos,

your skill and presentations are first class,

peace and good health

[Krait99]

This is great, thanks for posting this!

[susanmlavin]

thank you so much Sanjay, you make it look so much easier than it sounds in books

Susan

[youtuby0305]

Hi, could you pls tell me how many tea spoons of lemon juice / vinegar needed for 1 liter of Full Cream milk. Thanks for your all Great video ... FYI this EID i've cooked Hyderabad Mutton Briyani & Raita by following your video, it came out GOOD.

[plumsfor2000]

You added ice to the milk while making Paneer in Rasmalai Dish. Why did you not add ice in this method??

[vahchef]

in paneer making we need full curdling , in rasmalai we need soft curdle ,

[plumsfor2000]

Thank you.

[marithecook]

I love your cooking lesson it makes it seems as if anyone can do it. I can't wait to try.

please let me know if there are more videos like this. I love Indian food!.

[adamp108]

I'm so glad that you've talked about adding herbs/seasonings to the paneer -- I have thought about this many times, but it is *never* mentioned in cookbooks, so I assumed it was somehow an unwelcomed innovation.

Is it still considered improper to add salt to the paneer at any stage??

[abymathew]

what kind of milk should be used?  full or 2%

Thanks for the great videos.

[vahchef]

whole milk is good

[salihkerem]

hi i am from turkey and thank you for your recepies.we use litre.for one litre how many tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice i should put.

[middizen]

When I make paneer (I'm from Sweden and we also use litre!!) I use half lemon to 1 litre of milk! And I think lemon is the easiest, I'm afraid that the vinegar will taste!

:)

[babubee]

Without the amount of ingredients noted, how can one replicate the recipe? How much milk? How much vinegar?

[vahchef]

use 20-30 ml of vinegar for 1 litre of hot simmering milk ,add more vinegar till it curdles fully

[babubee]

Thank you!

[tell58]

Thank you so much,you r very helpful!You must have your own show on TV!
