Paneer ist ein indischer Käse, der anstatt von Fleisch in indischen Gerichten verwendet werden kann. Ich habe ihn noch nie irgendwo zu kaufen gesehen, aber nun ist es ganz einfach ihn selbst zu machen!

Der Käse wird schön fest und fällt beim Kochen nicht auseinander. Ich finde er macht sich wirklich wunderbar in indischen Gerichten und wenn ich das ultimative Gericht mit Paneer gefunden habe, dann werde ich es euch an dieser Stelle natürlich vorstellen.

Bis dahin experimentiert doch einfach mit euch bekannten indischen Gerichten in denen ihr das Fleisch durch Paneer ersetzt. Toll stelle ich es mir im indischen Mandelhühnchen vor (statt dem Hühnchen natürlich). Dann würde ich es allerdings nicht so lange garen, denn der Käse benötigt natürlich keine lange Garzeit.

Für die Herstellung ist es hilfreich eine Form zu haben mit Löchern in der der Käse abtropfen kann. Natürlich kann man auch ein Sieb verwenden, allerdings wird der Käse dann recht flach. Alternativ kann man sich aus einem alten Joghurtbecher (500g) auch eine Käseform basteln, indem man einige kleine Löcher in Boden und Seite bohrt.

Paneer is an indian cheese, which can be used in indian dishes instead of meat. I’ve never seen it for sale anywhere, but now it is so very easy to make it yourself!

The cheese is perfectly firm and doesn’t fall apart whilst cooking. It’s wonderful in indian dishes and when I’ll find the perfect dish with paneer I’ll definitely let you know!

Until then try familiar indian dishes and substitute the meat with paneer! I imagine that the paneer would also fit very good in indian almond chicken (without the chicken of course). But then I would’t cook it as long, since the cheese doesn’t need that much of a cooking time, of course.

It is helpful to have a cheese mould with holes, so the cheese can drain. Of course you could also use a mesh strainer, but the cheese will be very flat then. You could also use an old yogurt pot (500 g) and drill very small holes in the sides and the bottom.

Indisches MandelhühnchenIndian Almond Chicken

Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

As I’m writing this, I’m looking out the window, watching the rain. And it’s nice. Last week was so hot, that we couldn’t imagine turning on the oven or making a hot meal. Over the weekend the weather cooled down to about 20°C and rain, now and then.

It’s refreshing in another way. And it’s comfortable. It’s also comfortable to cozy up a bit in between the heat and cook and bake again. It’s time for some real comfort food.

This is my ultimate comfort food. I could dig in it, that good it is.

Indisches Mandelhühnchen

This are chicken pieces, which have marinated at least 6 hours in yoghurt, tomato puree and lots of spices. After that you cook it about 1,5 hours. The chicken will be tender and you have an unbelievable sauce! You can serve it with rice, if you want it easy (cause this meal IS easy). But if you want it be best, make some Batura. It’s an indian yeast flat-bread, which is deep-fried. In one of my upcoming posts, I will write about Batura, too. It’s so good, I want to dig in that, too.

Now you can imagine, what that meal does to me…

Indisches Mandelhühnchen

So, hurry up, marinate some chicken, you won’t regret it tonight! Oh, and it wouldn’t be a fault to make the double amount. It freezes wonderful (and still tastes wonderful after thawing). And another night, when you’re too lazy to cook, you already have a dinner.
