How to make paneer at home?
- Take ½ or 1 liter of milk in a vessel, and bring it to a boil.
- Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to the boiling milk.
- Stir the milk well and you will notice that the milk begins to curdle and solids separate from the whey.
- Once the milk gets curdled completely, turn off the stove and let it cool for a while. Later, strain the milk whey out with a cotton cloth and you will be left with curdled milk.
- After draining the whey, pour some water & let the water also drain away with the smell of lemon/vinegar.
- Squeeze the cloth tightly and make a knot and hang it for 30-45 minutes. Once every drop is drained completely, keep the knotted cloth in a netted vessel, put something heavy on it, and let the paneer set for 3-4 hours straight.
- Finally, remove the cloth and your paneer is ready.
