Home Made Paneer

Paneer is very easy to make at home. Try the following steps:

Ingredients:

  • Milk - 4-5 cups
  • Lemon Juice - 2 tbsp

Directions
  • In a pot, bring milk to a boil.
  • Slowly add lemon juice and keep stirring.
  • The milk would start to separate.  When the milk is completely separated it would look like the picture below
  • Turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • Line a collander or a mixing bowl with a thin cloth.
  • Drain the contents of the pot through the cloth. 
  • Tie a knot and hang the paneer over the kitchen sink for half an hour till all the water is dripped out.  You can also hang it on a deep jug.
  • Put a heavy weight bowl on the paneer to press it and flatten it a bit. 
  • Untie the knot and use the paneer. You can either cut them in cubes or scramble it.  ( if you are going to scramble it, then you don't really need to put a weight on it to get it into a shape. )

Enjoy fresh paneer in various recipes :)
