INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

1 gallon whole milk
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup canned whole kernel corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Stir in the lemon juice. Continue cooking 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until curds have formed. Using a cheese cloth, separate the cheese from remaining liquid, and set aside.
