how to make a little paneer

boil a litre of milk (powdered is fine)
remove from heat and add 2 Tbs. of lemon juice
the curds (!) will separate from the whey (!!)
[it really is that cool]

drain through a few layers of cheesecloth.
can be pressed overnight between heavy things in the fridge and cut into cubes,
or not.

presto magico - fresh home-made milk solids ("cheese" if you will)
yummalish in tomato-y onion-y tumeric-garam masala-chili-y peas-y goodness.

THIS is how to celebrate having time for grocery shopping and the fine rituals of selecting, preparing, consuming delightful nuggets of nutrition.
