Serve this take on the traditional Indian fresh cheese with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple yet impressive appetizer. The tofu-like texture also works well folded into soups or curries or pan fried and tossed into salads.

Do ahead:

Cheese can be made, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated up to 4 days.
