or any fillings that you would like.

Ingredients: 1 kg full cream milk
2 tbsp sour lime juice
Method: Boil the milk, lower heat and add limejuice, stirring till the milk begins to curdle. When the whey is clear, stop adding the solution, shut off the heat and leave for about 5 minutes.
Drain curdled milk through a cloth and leave to set for an hour or so. They whey left behind is very nutritious and can be used for gravies, rice, lentils.
Note: In case you live in the West, or somewhere where the milk is very rich, use a less fatty milk, or else the paneer will not hold its shape
Hi Apoorva, here are my answers which I hope will help:
1. When you refrigerate an iced cake the icing on top will dry out a bit but the cake inside will be fine. Once you cut a cake you must always keep it covered other wise it will dry out.
2. A cake cracks on top if too much is put into one tin--a cake tin should not be more than half full (except if it is a heavy fruit cake.) Or it happens when the temperature is too high and the cake cooks on top and not inside.
3. Cakes like Black Forest are usually drizzled on top with syrup or juice along with alcohol before being iced. And the truffle keeps the cake moist as it is a moist filling.
4. Unfortunately I cannot help you with a brand name of chocolate. But any good store will have what is called 'cooking chocolate' or coverture. Mumbai should have quite a few shops which stock these. I can only talk of old times when Crawford Market had all these items. Then Colaba has a shop---I am not sure but the name I think was Rustom or such like. Akbarally's should have it too.
Frankly I have not seen them for myself, but they are supposed to be black soya beans. I suppose the shop keeper should know if you tell him that. Since soya beans are available, black ones may be too.
As for Haricot beans, I get them when I ask for Frans bean ki daal or beej.
