Delectable Jalapeno Crushed Red Pepper Cottage Cheese (Paneer)

This instructable provides a simple and detailed method to make Jalepeno Crushed Red Pepper Cottage Cheese. It is very healthy, tasty, and prepared within an hour. Perfect appetizer or snack.

16 small cartons of milk. I used low fat, but any dairy milk will do.
4 table spoons of crushed red pepper
3 small jalepenos, cut small
20 vitamin C tablets, 500 mg

I boil 4 cartons of milk at a time in a microwave. You can also stovetop boil. I then add 5 vitamin C tablets for the 4 cartons, to curdle the milk. Gentle stirring helps, takes a couple of minutes to curdle.

Use a straining cloth and strain and separate the cheese from each batch. Keep all the cheese together. Squeeze out all the whey and pour the whey into the sink.

To the cottage cheese, add in the finely chopped jalepenos and the crushed red pepper flakes.
Stir in well to get a good even distribution!

Drain and squeeze out all the water, uner weight for 2 hours?
I put the cheese in a roughly rectangular block

Square of edges of block, and cut to roughly 1 inch squares. Finished piece will be approximately 0.5 inch thick.

Each piece is approximately 30 calories, 2 grams protein, no added sugars. Certified good by author and daughter!
