Pls suggest a way to make fine smooth paneer like lebon or gopal jee

Hi seema

I don't know what Amul Tazza full cream milk is, is it same as full cream fresh milk? I don't know why your paneer is brittle, did you press it under heavy weight after making it?

see recipe here; Paneer

Amul - is a manufacturer of dairy products (a very large company).

Taaza - appears to be a brand name that the Amul company use.

The rest speaks for itself, so I'm not sure if there should be any difference using what is basically milk produced by another company.

Having only made paneer myself once following Mamtas recipe if came out pretty much as expected so I can't really comment on any other factors that my have altered the way it came out.

When you say brittle, this would suggest its very hard and breaks easily ? Is this what you mean ? I suppose this would be down to moisture and fat content of the cheese.

The word tazza or taza imeans fresh Steve. I wasn?t sure what Amul?s taza milk is. Amul is a large milk and milk products producer in Gujrat, but I am not sure how it can be doing Taza milk all over India and if this is full cream milk etc.
