Homemade Paneer

Do give a try and am sure you will not go in for store bought ones after trying the homemade paneer.

1. Heat the milk and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally so that the skin does not form on the surface.
2. Once the milk rises, add the lemon juice / vinegar / curd. Usually i prefer lemon juice to curdle.
3. Milk starts to curdle. If the milk has not yet begun to curdle than add somw more lemon juice. Milk should completely curdle.
4. Stir the milk when its curdling so that the curdled milk does not stick to the base of the pan.
5. Immediately in a cheesecloth / cotton kitchen napkin / white cloth drain the curdled milk.
6. Keep a pan beneath the cheese cloth.
7. Put some weight above this so that the liquid entirely drained off.
8. Leave it for 3-6 hrs. Open the cheesecloth, you will see a beautiful block of cheese all set.
9. Cut paneer into any shapes or sizes as your wish.
