Thanks for prompt reply. But, I am back with few doubts. I made paneer yesterday, came out very well. But, I think I did something wrong while storing it. I stored into fridge after all the process you mentioned, then cubed it(after storing for 1 hour in fridge), and here I think I went wrong. I cubed it into too small pieces. and also, I stored in fridge in a bowl of water, even though I was going to use just after 2 hours.

So, eventually when I fried the paneer in a pan, it didn’t maintain original shape at all. Was I supposed to squeeze paneer between my hands to remove excess water before frying? Or, was I supposed to leave it in a fridge for a few more hours before keeping it in a bowl of water?

Please advice………. (Amazing how I keep having new doubts everyday )

Thanks.

Food processors and blenders/mixie/grinders work differently. Food processors work without the use of liquid and the blades actually rotate things from bottom to top. Blenders will just grind a the very bottom and the top doesn’t go down unless there is liquid present. A mixie will not work to make dough.

Can I use mixer (Indian Type) instead of food processor to make smooth dough?

We have not come across a lassi recipe that uses cottage cheese (or in this case, paneer). Many people refer to paneer as cottage cheese, but it tastes very different than the cottage cheese that is available at American grocery stores. The recipe you have may be someone’s personal rendition of lassi so we’re not sure which one (paneer or cottage cheese) they mean. We do have a video for lassi you can try out.

Is the paneer you making here the same as ‘cottage cheese’?
