Making paneer at home isn’t just cost-effective—it’s healthier and tastier. With the help of specialized stainless steel paneer moulds, the process becomes quick, clean, and rewarding.
Let’s dive into how to make paneer step by step, using moulding stainless steel tools that are built for precision and ease.
Why Use Stainless Steel Cheese Moulds?
When it comes to dairy handling, mould on stainless steel surfaces is rare due to the material’s non-porous, easy-to-clean finish. That’s why stainless steel trim moulding and moulding stainless steel options are widely used in professional kitchens.
Products like Stainless Steel Glossy-Finish Round Cheese/Paneer Maker – Quick Press Mould – 3 Sizes are ideal for pressing curds into smooth, firm blocks of paneer. Unlike plastic, these stainless steel cheese moulds don’t retain odors or react with acidic curds.
Step-by-Step: How to Make Paneer at Home
Ingredients:
- 1 liter full-fat milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Equipment:
- Heavy-bottom pot
- Muslin cloth or cheesecloth
- Colander
- Your choice of stainless steel paneer mould from Nyra Kitchenware
Step 1: Boil the Milk
Heat the milk in a stainless steel pot until it comes to a rolling boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking at the bottom.
Step 2: Curdling
Turn off the heat and add lemon juice or vinegar slowly while stirring. The milk will begin to split, forming curds and whey.
Step 3: Straining the Curds
Place a muslin cloth over a colander and pour the mixture into it. Let it drain and gather the curds together.
Step 4: Pressing the Paneer
Now it’s time to shape the paneer using one of Nyra Kitchenware’s premium moulds:
