Ajoy and me both like paneer a lot so that is unacceptable.. Its not like i never made paneer, I had been making this for sweets regularly but didnt make it for vegetable for the good quality paneer was always available.. But since now that is not the case I decided to make this for adding it to the vegetables too. Turns out i was missing so much for last few years that I didn't make it at home. Ingredients 2 Liter Whole Milk 3 Spoon Vinegar Method Bring milk to boil. When it almost comes to boil add in vinegar mixed with cup of cold water and stir well. Milk will cuddle and separate from whey. Pour this into the cheese or muslin cloth and let water drain out. Run in cold water through it to let it come to room temperature. Tie the muslin cloth tightly. Fill in the cooker fully with water and keep it

मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा Kadboli is Maharashtrian faral dish. You might wonder why am i posting this after so many months of diwali. But given that world cup has started in full swing, i thought it would be good to have some crunchy home made snack instead of just plain chips.
