It was pleasing to read of Mahaica River cattle farmer Mohan Singh’s exploits of Paneer-making and sale in the local market. This venture shows, again, the possibility of what we can achieve as a nation and region in feeding ourselves and reducing our food importation bill.
Have you bought and tried it yet? According to the report in Stabroek News (June 25, 2021) the locally made cheese is available at several well-known grocery and food outlets.
I first had paneer in 2007. It was homemade. With the guidance and advice of friends who grew up with their parents and grandparents making paneer at home, I made my own paneer. It was easy and fun. At the end of the process, looking at the final product, tasting and cooking with it, I could not help but feel proud of the accomplishment.
