Ingredients
Paneer:
- 1 quart whole milk
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 piece muslin or kitchen cloth
Paneer Korma:
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric plus an extra pinch
- 1 1/4 pounds paneer firm, 600 grams
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic pureed, cloves
- 3/4 inch ginger pureed, fresh, 2 cm piece
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste concentrated
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 7 tablespoons water 100 grams
- 1 pound tomato or 1 2/3 cups (400 ml) chopped tomatoes, very ripe, 500 grams
- 3 tablespoons almond blanched, 30 grams
- 7 tablespoons half-and-half cream 100 ml
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted, 10 grams
For garnish:
- cilantro freshly chopped
- vegetable oil
- salt
Instructions
To make the paneer:
- In a large pot, add the milk over medium heat. Right when it comes to a boil, remove from heat and add the vinegar. Set aside to curdle for 10 minutes.
- Strain the curdled milk through the piece of muslin, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Place the cloth filled cheese in a rectangular container and cover with a weight. Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Remove the paneer from the cloth, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for another 30 minutes before using or up to a week in the refrigerator in the retained liquid or cold water.
To make the paneer korma:
- In a large pan, drizzle about 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Sprinkle with a pinch of turmeric. Slice the paneer into even pieces, about 1-1 1/2 inch. Once the oil is very hot but not smoking, add the paneer pieces (in batches if needed) and cook until browned on each side. Remove and drain on a towel lined plate.
- In a large saucepan or pot, drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, water, and salt to taste. Simmer to reduce the liquid.
- In a food processor or blender, pulse together the tomatoes and almonds until smooth. Add to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes before stirring in the half-and-half and butter. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the paneer pieces to coat and garnish with cilantro. Serves immediately with Basmati rice.
