My panir came out nice and firm this time, but it's not terribly consistent. What kind of milk do you use? Whole milk generally makes creamier, less crumbly cheese (and, maybe not coincidentally, is what I used this time). I'd definitely try using whole milk. Beyond that, make sure you're wrapping it tightly when you press it, and maybe try a heavier weight? Let me know if you find something that works! Good question.
