Paneer bruschetta + Homemade paneer (حلال)

* Homemade paneer
Ingredients
2 litres full fat Milk
200-250g fresh Yogurt, or 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method
1. Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy-based saucepan. Once the milk starts to boil and rise up, stir in 200ml of the yogurt or the lemon juice. Keeping the milk on the heat, stir gently to help the milk curdle, it should only take a minute or so. If it does not separate add the rest of the yogurt and keep stirring. The curds will coagulate and separate from the watery whey. Remove from the heat.

2. Line a large sieve with muslin or cheesecloth and sit over a large bowl or saucepan. Strain the cheese into the sieve and run some cold water through it. Wrap the cheese in the cloth and hang it off the tap over the sink to allow the excess water to drain for 20 minutes. Then, keeping it fairly tight place on your work surface and place a heavy weight on top, we refill the same saucepan with the whey or water and place it on top for 30-40 minutes or until it is flattened into a firm block. Then cut into cubes or crumble, depending on how you want to use it.

3. Store any unused pieces in the refrigerator in water and cover. You can also freeze the paneer in an airtight container. Defrost thoroughly before use.
