Ingredients: 2 cups (260 g) peanuts (raw or roasted); 1 liter water; 4 tbsp lemon juice; pinch of salt (optional)

7 steps

I needed a vegan paneer alternative for one of my favorites Indian curries, so I simply made it myself using peanuts… It’s a bit softer than paneer (you could leave it for longer to firm up more), but it can be fried in a pan and it’s absolutely delicious!

Instructions

Step 1

Soak peanuts for at least 2 hours.

Step 2

Blend with water until smooth.

Using a cheese cloth, or nut milk bag, squeeze out the peanut milk. You can use the remaining pulp to make cookies or other snacks.

Step 4

Bring the peanut milk to a slight simmer (do not boil), let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat, then stir in the lemon juice. Let it chill for 1-2 hours until the curdles have formed.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the curdles to a cheese cloth to strain off the “whey”. Let it sit in the fridge with a weight on top for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 7

Voila! Cut into cubes for your favorite Indian curry, eat on bread or keep in the fridge for up to a week!
