Steps to make Homemade Paneer or Ricatto …. Indian Cheese:

- put the milk in a large saucepan…. turn up to med/high…. allow to get very warm… almost boiling… it will get foamy around the edges. stir gently, just to keep milk from sticking to the bottom…
- when it starts foaming add BUTTERMILK….. IF YOU DON'T HAVE BUTTERMILK….,you can add to it 1 cup of heavy cream, but add the juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons. don't use pre-squeezed lemon products. it doesn't set as well with those products….
- turn flame down to medium….

- wet cheese cloth lay 2 layers inside of s colander. wet cheese cloth and ring out well.
- pour curds into colander and allow to drain for 15-20 minutes…. gather up corners of cheese cloth and twist…. if u want ricatto this is the point where u store it. add salt….
- PANEER: after you twist and remove as much liquid by hand. turn your colander upside down place bundle on bottom … place a plate on top with several large cans… let sit for 1 hr… it will become firm like paneer….
