For our March Chef Surpríse dinner, we were honored to have Chef Kiran Verma of Kiran's in the RecipeHouse kitchen, where she doled out plates of comforting yet inspired Indian cuisine, as well as a glimpse of the magic behind it all. In particular, the full house of guests were taken aback by the simplicity of making fresh paneer (Indian cheese).
After bringing milk to a low boil, Kiran stirs in a handful of spices, adds vinegar to make the milk curdle, and pours the mixture into a cheesecloth...
...before bundling and hanging the cheesecloth to drain any excess liquid.
Then, VOILA! Fresh paneer, to simmer in sauce or nibble on its own.
The Chef Surpríse series is held the first Monday of every month at RecipeHouse and features a rotation of Houston's hottest chefs. To learn more and sign up to attend the next dinner with David Cordua of Cordua Restuarants on April 1, visit our website.
