and paneer is a bit time consuming to make (you add an acid like a bit of vinegar to hot milk, seperate the curds and whey with a cheesecloth and then put the curds under a heavy object to press them into shape… vague descrip. i know, but i always loathed paneer, so never bothered with it).

you can pick blocks of it up at most indian/pakistani/bangla shops (theres a huge one on brick lane called bangla mart that should have it).
