This is the basic recipe for making paneer which is one of the basic ingredients in Indian cooking.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 litre Milk
11/2tsp vinegar or 1/2tsp lemon juice or citric acid
Method:
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.
