Getting quite a few ideas from this video. My favourite part is the single portion Chicken Claypot Biryani (16:33). I think the rose water here could actually be a light rose syrup. Lots of recipes showing how to make it online.

Anyway, I am looking for a couple of those dinky pots.

Unles the video suggests otherwise, Rob (I don't know, I have not yet watched it), I would suggest that it might be East End brand Rose Water (they also do Kewra Water in the same range).

It's not East End Phil. Deeper colour and more viscous. Do watch the video when you get chance. The editing is clumsy in places, but overall it's very good. Nepalese chef. I am going to have a go at making my own paneer. It looks quite straightforward; bet it isn't. For the claypot presume the flavours of the seasoning permeates through the pastry.

Amazing from 7.30 pm. Fabulous. When I visit Milan next...

I have made my own paneer a few times Rob.  It isn't too complicated at all, but it helps to have a press of some kind.  I used a small rectangular plastic trinket basket and a suitably cut piece of acrylic sheet along with a perfectly sized Railway electrical wire tensioning weight I had lying around.  You will also need a milk thermometer or just a candy thermometer.  What I found though, was that it is not really cost effective, unless you can get full cream milk at reduced prices.

Same as me, although I regularly do 5 typos a day.

Thanks livo, good tips. Will look into cost effectiveness. Cheese prices, in general, have gone though the roof here. The larger blocks of cheddar now have security tags on them in some supermarkets. Any idea how much milk I would need to make 500g paneer?

It depends upon the fat content of the milk.  Some people add extra cream to the milk, which I did on one occasion.  I can't really recall the yields I achieved but it would be somewhere around 2 - 3 litres at least I'd say.

Rik (Loveitspicey / Backyard Chef) says 250 - 300 g per litre using full fat whole milk.

Paneer is very straightforward and worth the time. I do it regularly with a gallon of whole milk. I bought the missis a cheese press the other year when we had a bash at making cheddar, but heavy pots can do the job too.
Chetna Makhan has a good video on it.
