Vegan Paneer

Ingredients

• 2 cups watermelon seeds (soaked overnight)
• 4 cups water (2 + 2 for blending)

Flavouring 

1. ½ tsp kasuri methi
2. ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
3. ½ tsp rock salt

Method

1. Discard soaking water and rinse seeds well.
2. Blend the seeds with 2 cups fresh water until smooth.
3. Strain using a muslin cloth.
4. Heat the milk on medium flame until it comes to a boil.
5. Add kasuri methi, cumin powder, and rock salt. Stir continuously for 1-2 mins until it curdles.
6. Let it cook till water separates, then switch off the flame.
7. Transfer to a muslin cloth, press with a heavy weight, and let it set.
8. Once firm, cut into cubes and use like regular paneer.

Tip – Don’t stop stirring while curdling – that’s the key to perfect texture.
