paneer

How To Make paneer

• Step 1
  Mix lemon juice in 1/2 cup hot water and put aside.
• Step 2
  Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, making sure not to burn bottom.
• Step 3
  Just as the milk starts to boil, add lemon/water mix gradually and stir gently. You will see the curd will start to separate from the whey. Remove from heat.
• Step 4
  Once the milk fat and whey have separated, drain using a stainer lined with cheese cloth.
• Step 5
  Wrap and rinse with cold water. This is very important! If you skip rinsing, your paneer will taste like lemons :(
• Step 6
  Knead paneer enough to make smooth.
• Step 7
  Wrap tightly and press with a heavy pan/pot for 1 hour. Longer for firmer cheese.
• Step 8
  Next put into refrigerator and chill until you're ready to fry it.
