Home Made Paneer(Cottage Cheese)



I always used to buy paneer outside until I knew this :). Now I buy half liter full cream milk((normal would also do !!) and make it fresh at home. Sometimes in summer milk gets spoiled if exposed to sun for long time or if its not kept in fridge. Now a days I use that milk to make paneer . This can be used in anything same as you use paneer bought from outside.
INGREDIENTS :-
Milk (full cream would be best/normal would also do) :- as per requirement
Lime juice :- 1 tablespoon
METHOD :-
  1. Heat milk and bring it to boil.
  2. Let it cool for a while. After it cools add lemon juice and stir it fr 5 minutes. You can see milk solids getting separated . Keep aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Now After 30 minutes, you can see clear water on top of the milk. Now again heat it and bring it to "just about to boil" condition.
  4. Now filter the upper water using a filter.
  5. Now take a vessel fill water upto brim and place it on the paneer in filter. In sort the idea is to press it with weight so as to remove any water in the paneer. Leave it for 15 minutes.
  6. Take the paneer cut into pieces and store it in fridge.
