How To Make Paneer

Ingredients:
1 litre Milk
11/2tsp vinegar or 1/2tsp lemon juice or citric acid

How to prepare paneer:

  • Boil the milk in a pan.
  • When it's boiling add lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid which ever you are using, while stirring.
  • If citric acid is being used, dissolve it in 2-tbsp water before adding.
  • When milk curdles full turn off the gas and keep aside for 5 minutes.
  • Pour it on to a cotton/muslin cloth and tie it with a tight knot.
  • When all the water is drained from the paneer shape it into a rectangular block.
  • Now place the cloth under heavy weight for 2-3 hours before using it.
  • Note: Do not throw away the leftover water as it can be used for kneading chapati or paratha dough
