Paneer Cheese Recipe

Paneer, also known as Indian cottage cheese, is a fresh and unsalted cheese that is widely used in Indian cooking.

Here is a simple recipe to make paneer at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 liter full-fat milk
• 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
2. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat and add the lemon juice or vinegar.
3. Stir gently until the milk curdles and the whey separates. If the milk doesn’t curdle completely, add some more lemon juice or vinegar.
4. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Place a muslin cloth or a thin cotton cloth over a colander and strain the curdled milk.
6. Rinse the paneer under cold water to remove any lemony flavor.
7. Gather the edges of the cloth and squeeze out excess water.
8. Place a heavy object on the cloth-wrapped paneer and let it sit for 1-2 hours to set.
9. Once set, cut the paneer into cubes or slices as desired.
10. Your homemade paneer is ready to be used in your favorite dishes!
