2 tsp oil
1½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
2 green chillies, slit
4 cups whey, refer handy tip
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
½ cup paneer (cottage cheese), cut into ½” cubes

Handy tip: Put 1 litre of milk to boil. When it starts boiling, add 200 ml curds and mix well. Remove from the flame and stir gently until the milk curdles. Strain the curdled milk and use the whey (white coloured water) collected below. Use the paneer from the muslin cloth as required.
