Homemade Paneer

Making Paneer

1. Heat the milk in a pot over medium heat until it comes to a boil.

2. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the lemon juice gradually while stirring gently.

3. Continue to stir until the milk curdles and the whey separates.

4. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes.

5. Strain the curds using a muslin cloth or fine sieve to remove the whey.

6. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove the lemon flavor.

7. Gather the cloth and squeeze out excess water, then shape the curds into a block.

8. Place a weight on top to set the paneer for about 30 minutes.
