Paneer:INDIAN CHEESE: 4 quarts whole milk 4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar Recipe courtesy Nidhi Gupta Start by boiling the milk in a big pan, enough to hold all at the same time. Stir the milk constantly from the start, so that milk doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. If it burns, then there will be parts of burnt milk in cheese and it won't be as white as it should be. When it starts to come to a boil, add vinegar at that time and stir constantly. It will break and turn into cheese. Now, put a thin cotton cloth over the sieve and drain all the contents of the pan over it. Wash it under running water with your hand so that the smell of vinegar goes out. Now drain it and put it under something heavy and let it sit for 4 to 6 hours. Remove it from the cloth and cut it and use it as required; this is the hard version. It can also be used after it is washed, which is the soft version. Yield: 500 grams of cheese

Easy Chile Salsa

How I heated my corn tortilla. I shredded leftover baked chicken from the night before. I added some crumbled cheese to take down the heat a little, but didn't feel like I had to include anything else because of everything in the salsa. So good!
