Naaaaah! I embarrassed myself by not having made the curry - and you inspired me to make my own paneer, and I was so chuffed to find I had the ingredients to hand!!!

Milk has the protein content to make the actual cheese. If you mix lemon with cream it will curdle but it will be oily curdles and not have a paneer texture. I don’t know what a higher fat content milk would be like but I imagine a creamier softer less dense paneer.

Yes I think the curdling will not be the same with just cream - more like a posset rather than a paneer - might be fun to try though.
But adding cream to the milk and then making paneer from that sounds as if it could be really effective - in the recipe notes it says the result is creamier with a firmer texture. Wish I’d remembered I had that cream in the fridge!
I didn’t rinse the curds as suggested in the directions - they were all clumping so beautifully together that I didn’t want to risk separating them. I reckon it’ll be a better texture without the rinsing.
Looking forward to checking out my pressed paneer in the morning!

Big Mac Casserole. I subbed one tsp tomato paste for the tablespoon of mustard and I liked it better. And some guacamole to use up an avocado that was ripe.

So can you list me a few of your breakfasts and lunches to inspire me rather than just saying it don’t’

I just treat it as any normal meal, no special breakfasts. Prep up food and eat it. Just now I’ve had chicken thighs and mayo, little bit of coleslaw. Last week I made the cheeseburger casserole from this thread and had a portion each day for breakfast. Yesterday was steak and eggs. I just don’t bother with the concept of breakfast needing to be any special type of meal.

Pleased with my round block of paneer! Going to use some as an ingredient later. It’s much firmer than I’d expected, but I reckon it’ll be quite crumbly when I cube it and fry it.
In other news, a magpie came down this morning and killed the very underripe fledgling blackbird I mentioned yesterday. A kerfuffle in the garden this morning - to which I arrived too late to make a difference - was the end of it. 
Having left the nest too soon (with no flight feathers yet) It wasn’t ‘out’ out, but yesterday afternoon its dad tucked it away in some undergrowth further down the garden than where it had been, and it was being fed by its dad non-stop. Canny magpie knew exactly what it was doing, sadly.
Nature’s way. Tough, sometimes.

Yeah I loved my overnight oats with chia seeds and fruit but it way too high in carbs so I have to find a new mind set or skip breakfast totally

I love jalapeño cheddar sausages! So yummy. Also, my last batch of sauerkraut is crispy crunchity, squeaky like it should be. But my kimchi turned mushy. Must have done something wrong. Maybe it was too warm in my kitchen during the ferment. Tastes good but it got to go into soups. Boo!

Omad: Chaffle, sausage, a little chicken liver pate with onion, avocado, a perfect boiled egg (yolk runny but firm enough to allow a quick cut and flip, whites firm - 4 minutes with instant release in instapot), cottage cheese and strawberries.

First, a disclaimer. If you’re really new to low carb, keep it simple for the most part, especially if you’re not yet fat-adapted. That said:
Google “n’oatmeal” or simply keto oatmeal and you’ll be surprised what people have come up with to fill the oatmeal void. Two of the common ingredients are hemp hearts and ground/chopped almonds. You might find one you love as much as the oats. Chia’s not terrible in small amounts. As for the fruit, you can choose a bit of berries without damaging progress, or make some sugar free jam/preserves to strengthen the flavor, and use a tsp of that on your n’oatmeal. Or try melting high-quality butter on it - you’ll be stuffed, and just might decide you’re fine with that instead of fruit.
You don’t even have to be very creative to fill your “carbaholic voids” - all you need is Google. Low-carb foodies have quietly made great strides in the last 20+ years.
