(To yield approx. 225-250 grams paneer)
INGREDIENTS:
1L fresh milk
1 cup curd or 2 lemons (i prefer curd because the lemon gives it a bitter taste)
METHOD:
- Heat the milk and when the milk starts to boil,add the curd or lemon.
- Gently stir it keeping it on a low flame.
- The milk will start to curdle(the milk separates from the water. This water is known as whey). When the milk curdles completely,remove from the heat and allow it to cool for a while.
- Strain this in a muslin cloth or a flat sieve until all the whey is drained off.
- Place the paneer on a flat plate along with the cloth and press on top with another plate.( this removes the excess water).
- when lemons are used for curdling,the paneer is washed to remove the lemon flavor before applying weight.
- Place a weight on the plate and leave for 15minutes.
- Cut the paneer into squares or required shapes and use it as required.
