    Homemade Paneer Recipe:

    Ingredients:

    Whole Milk: 1 Liter
    Lemon Juice: 3 tbsp

    Method:

    1. In
    a big vessel, bring the milk to a boil. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice
    to it and mix until the milk curdles.

    2. Keep stirring and then add the
    remaining lemon juice. Keep stirring until the whey completely
    separates. Switch off the heat and set aside for a few minutes.

    3. Strain
    the paneer in a cheese cloth and wash the paneer with fresh water to
    wash away the sourness of the lemon. bring the edges of the cloth up and
    tie it together. Hang the cloth above the sink for 2 hours.

    4. Now place
    it on a flat platform with some heavy weight top of it for 2 - 3 hours.
    Open and remove the cloth and refrigerate for 1 hour.

    5. Then cut into
    cubes and store in the fridge.
