HOME MADE PANEER


INGREDIENTS:


1.Milk---1 litre
2.Lemon---1 big


METHOD:


Boil the milk in a broad vessel.
When it starts boiling add the lemon juice drop by drop.
Keep stirring the milk continuously add the juice slowly.
Stir the milk curdles and the paneer and water should get separated.
We call the water as whey and we can use it for making chapathi dough.
Now switch off the stove and filter the paneer in a strainer and transfer it to a thin muslin cloth.
Squeeze the water from the paneer and tie the cloth in a tap for half an hour.
Then remove the knot from the cloth and shape the paneer like a square and close itwith the cloth again.
Now keep a heavy weight on the paneer for an hour.
Open the cloth and cut the paneer in to pieces and keep it in the fridge
Now the paneer is ready for making gravies or any dish.
Though this might be a long process its not too hard to make it at home.
Give it a try and let me know:)

Thank u!!
