Make Paneer at Home

All You Need:

•  1 Litre fresh organic whole milk 
• 2 tsp Vinegar or Lemon Juice
• Cheese Cloth 
• 1 small cup of water 

The Recipe:

• Boil the milk. Mix in between. After it boils, remove the cream at the top
• Let it sit for 10 minutes and then add a glass of water to bring down the heat.
• Gradually add the vinegar/lemon juice and mix slowly. DO NOT mix vigorously otherwise paneer will be crumbly.
• Let it sit till the milk completely cools down. The paneer separates from the whey.
• Put a cheese cloth on top of a big strainer and strain the paneer.
• Carefully fold the cheese cloth on all sides....the fold should be smooth to get a smooth paneer
• Place the cheese cloth with paneer on the top of a colander and put the colander on a big plate. Place a plate on top of cheese cloth and a heavy weight on top of it. This is a shortcut step because the water will ooze out of paneer and also the paneer gets packed at the same time.
• Set aside for 2 hrs. Cut into cubes and chill.
