Homemade Grilled Veggie Cottage Cheese#SundayFunday

Homemade Cottage Cheese with veggies and flavorful spices makes a great and low fat starter. Making the cottage cheese from starch is a great pleasure, the cheese is soft and succulent. See the detailed recipe of making it home here.

Ingredients
For the Cottage Cheese
1½ Liter Cow Milk
200 Ml Fresh Cream
Other Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Each Red , Yellow & Green Bell Peppers
1 Tablespoon Chopped Coriander Leaves
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
1 Teaspoon Oregano
1 Teaspoon Parsley
1 Teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
¼ Teaspoon Salt

Method

Prepare the cottage cheese as per this recipe. When milk curdles, add all the other ingredients and mix it lightly. Strain this into a cheese/muslin cloth. Dip this cloth it in a bowl of cold water, rinse the cheese with fresh water till it cools and hang it at a height  for the excess liquid to drain. Let it drain for half an hour.

Now remove the knot of the cloth and place the cheese along with the cloth on a wide plate, strainer or kitchen counter. Gently press it to form a rectangle shape. Place a heavy weight or a saucepan of of water on the cheese cloth and let it sit for an hour or till all the water is drained and forms firm cheese.

Cut them into pieces. 

Heat a grill pan with just a few drops of oil and then grill them on both sides of just a minute or two on each side. Do not grill for a long time as then cottage cheese becomes hard. 

Serve  them  as starters or as finger food or tapas along with drinks. Served these to my diet conscious friends as starters.
