There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Making Paneer - Untested


1 liter (4¼ cups milk)
1½ tsp vinegar or ½ tsp lemon juice or citric acid
  1. Boil the milk in a pan.
  2. When it’s boiling add lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid which ever you are using, while stirring.
  3. If citric acid is being used, dissolve it in 2 Tbsps. water before adding.
  4. When milk curdles full turn off the gas and set aside for about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour it on to a cotton/muslin cloth and tie it with a tight knot.
  6. When all the water is drained from the paneer shape it into a rectangular block.
  7. Now place the cloth under heavy weight for 2 to 3 hours before using it.
  8. Note: Do not throw away the leftover water as it can be used for kneading chapati or paratha dough
