How To Make Paneer

Ingredients:


 
1 litre Milk

11/2tsp vinegar or 1/2tsp lemon juice or citric acid


How to prepare paneer:

Boil the milk in a pan.
When it's boiling add lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid which ever you are using, while stirring.
If citric acid is being used, dissolve it in 2-tbsp water before adding.
When milk curdles full turn off the gas and keep aside for 5 minutes.
Pour it on to a cotton/muslin cloth and tie it with a tight knot.
When all the water is drained from the paneer shape it into a rectangular block.
Now place the cloth under heavy weight for 2-3 hours before using it.
Note: Do not throw away the leftover water as it can be used for kneading chapati or paratha dough
