Another video in the series:

Julian mentions at the end that next is the Sanam (Rusholme). I am getting quite excited.

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.

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'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...

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).

Just noticed there is a typographical error in your post Phil. R U OK?

The chutney is lovely. Haven't tried the pickle yet. £1.49 each.
