MASTERCLASS IN PANEER | How to make the best softest herby paneer at home | Food with Chetna

[@giuliabortone1265]

I've lived in Scotland for three years before coming back home to Italy. When I was there I discovered paneer (and Indian cuisine honestly) and since I've come back home I've been desperately looking for it but it's nowhere to be found 😢 and thanks to you I can now try and make it myself at home. I can finally make Palak paneer!!

[@teresamarkwith6881]

You are so delightful and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your classes online. I have lived in Pennsylvania all my life and I am not indian, but I love learning to make different foods from different parts of the world, especially since my mother got me interested in penpals and friends from many parts of the world when I was a kid. I don't have or use muslin cloths but I use a clean old pillowcase. Works just as well. This is similar to our American cottage cheese.

This is an EXCELLENT how-to video. I never dreamed it would be so easy to make paneer - I can't wait to try it! Thank you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@LizTheParront]

@@FoodwithChetna It works! It works EXACTLY as you show in the video! This is amazing. THANK YOU!

[@SandraSanchez-hc6qs]

Thank you for this, Chetna. I love paneer (I'm Mexican & we have a cheese, panela, that is very similar) & enjoy trying it in as many dishes as possible. Love your channel & your recipes have become a staple in my kitchen. ❤

[@kalpnapanchal7118]

Thank you for this excellent masterclass. I’ve made this a few times now and it comes out perfect. This is the easiest and best method I’ve found. Love your recipes.

[@annemackey1512]

I adore your Butter Paneer ( I don’t eat meat) so this has been very helpful. I usually use store bought paneer and after seeing this there is no reason to continue doing so. In fact I live near a dairy farm so I’ll be getting some fresh milk from them! 🐄 🧀

[@FoodwithChetna]

oh perfect!

[@katielightsoloway203]

I made your paneer recipe yesterday and it turned out fantastic!! Your instructions were so clear and helpful. I am in the US, so I used 1/2 gallon of whole milk and about 2 Tbs vinegar mixed with 2 Tbs water. I am excited to make the recipe again. Thanks for teaching me a new skill!!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much

[@-Sunita-]

You are the nicest and kindest chef. Always spreading your recipes and useful information. Always comes in handy. Thank you xx

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much 😊

[@renskemingelen8759]

Hi, thank you from the Netherlands. I am so happy with this lovely recipe. I love the paneer ❤

[@user-kpkxgtj]

Thank you for such a good demonstration. I learned from the comments under a tofu making video that paneer is made in the same way using dairy instead of soy milk. I love paneer but it is quite expensive where I am (more so in the recent past) I could only have it as a rare treat. Thankfully milk is still relatively affordable, so that's about to change. 160 grams of paneer from 1 litre of milk is a great cost saving compared to buying the ready made stuff. I just successfully made tofu with soymilk from scratch (making the milk was a whole sport 😮‍💨), so I should be able to manage this quite easily. I'm excited to give it a go tonight.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad i could help

[@premilaprag3377]

Hi, from South Africa.. thank you for this recipe just made it.. with lemon juice🙂

[@primaveracero2010]

What an amazing masterclass! I've been curious about this cheese for a long time and for my surprise it has the same elaboration process of the queso fresco (which I love being from south america). This is such a discovery for me, specially because I didn't know that you can add herbs to this kind of cheese! I am really grateful for all your beautiful and useful videos! Thanks! Hugs from Canada

[@deepikawickramasinghe3282]

Hi dear lady Your roti receip with only flour and water is absolutely a good one. You r very simple Inteligent and Smart. Love to see your home garden. All the best

[@vannotenc]

I am so incredibly happy that I "bumped into" your masterclass. This skill I can use for the rest of my days. Thank you so much! For the people who did not buy your books, I can tell, they are missing out on wonderful recipes made with love and a beautiful book. Have a great day Chetna, with love from Belgium❤

[@namivenki]

Lovely recipe and so thorough. Will definitely be trying this out. You are my favorite because not only are you a great chef but also the most relatable. Thank you for not editing out the not so smooth portions of this process. They were hilarious! 😂And gosh it’s nice to know such things happen to others too.

[@AngelInquisitor10]

My wife and I love your recipes and your presentations: you make it all so simple and doable. The results: always satisfying to the senses, in particular to the palate. Thank you

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much

[@blackhagalaz]

My husband just came back from visiting my brother in-law and his new wife in Jamu, and he brought home a lovely recipe for palak-corn. When we made it the first time I added some paneer and we loved it! Now I wanted to cook it again but had no time to order more paneer. So I am so happy I found your video I will make this today with lemon-juice!

[@angko-pe]

This was so helpful. Wonderfully clear instructions and you really show how simple it truly is to make paneer at home. Thanks ☺️

[@radhamohanoorsampath7467]

Thanku Ms Chetna. I tried paneer so many times.but this time it was so perfect. Thanku for the detailed explanation on how to do it. I used the lemon one and it is so good.wishes from USA.

Thanks Chetna, I’ll give this a go. Can’t wait for May/June time and the Asparagus season. Your paneer and asparagus recipe is a real favourite of mine and I’m sure it’ll be even better with home made paneer.

[@saurabhkumar6981]

[@21Diddley]

Do you have to use fresh lemon juice, or would bottled lemon juice work? Many thanks for such a clear tutorial / masterclass. It's good to see you're human, and have accidents in the kitchen like the rest of us.

[@FoodwithChetna]

fresh please

[@margaretretter3665]

make sure you use a real lemon such as a Lisbon. I have a meyer lemon tree and they are not true lemons and aren't acidic enough.

[@21Diddley]

@@FoodwithChetna Thank you. I substitute bottled most of the time but for you - I will buy a lemon.

[@vuladamsUT]

Sidenote: I tried it with bottled lemon juice and it did not curdle well.

You really cant freeze this

[@judymarais12345]

Looks absolutely amazing 🎉. What other fillings can be used please

[@janeelliott6772]

Really enjoyable and informative video. You are a very good teacher. Will make this at the weekend.

[@ashnee7281]

Lovely alternatives, Chetna. I usually only use plain yogurt, which does result in a nice soft textured paneer. Will definitely try the lemon juice next time I make paneer. I stopped buying store bought paneer years ago, since trying making using yogurt. It's cheaper and tastier to make ones own. Hope your floor tile didn't crack with that pestle falling!!

[@magnusbooth4719]

I have been making your basic paneer recipe for years now, usually for your matar paneer. Really interesting to see this in more detail. Will try the new heating and waiting methods next time I make paneer.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks a lot

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

Thank you so much for this. Watching you makes me believe I can do this myself. I live in a portion of Texas that doesn't carry paneer in any of our local shops.

[@FoodwithChetna]

You can do it! let me know how it goes!!!

[@marjoriebelt2842]

Where I live in Berlin it is easy to get most middle eastern fresh cheeses, but paneer isn’t readily available. I’m so happy you showed us how to make it! Thank you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

It's so good and hope will try it yourself now

[@magnusbooth4719]

You can get it at larger asian supermarkets in Berlin.

[@marjoriebelt2842]

@@magnusbooth4719 I’ll probably have to go exploring. I’m in Neukölln, so I’ll ask around. I’d like to try making it myself sometime, too.

[@KaveyaSivaprakasam-f4b]

The paneer I made learning from you made me cry..... It's been like 2 yrs since I moved out of India. I used to rely on store bought paneer. One fine day, I was making a paneer dish. While cleaning up, the manufacture date and best before date of the paneer caught my eye. I swear it made me puke and disgusted. I decided to make paneer at home from that day. Your video was the most detailed and realistic. I don't usually comment on others videos but ma'am you really earned this one ✨ You look very cute and fun too❤ Lots of Love....

You make everything look so easy. I’m definitely going to try this and make those delicious parathas you posted this week. I could buy some but I think it’s much more exciting to try to make your own. I’m thinking how similar it is to your mum’s white ghee just that wasn’t heated and no acid. So clever how you can make so much with milk. Thanks for sharing.
