Paneer Delicacy - Prepare Paneer

To prepare a good quality soft paneer its important to use good quality milk. (read it full cream milk )

You will need Juice of 1 lemon or 1 cup curd whichever is handy and 1 ltr of milk.

Boil milk stirring continuously so as not to form cream layers on top. Once milk boils switch of the gas.

Stir in lemon juice/curd leave it for a minute. Again heat it up on low flame stirring occassionally.

You will see the paneer forming and the green water separates. Switch off the gas and leave to cool.

Strain water and wrap paneer in a muslin cloth tight (put it in a rectangular container to get the desired shape, will be easier to cut in cubes when used.) Paneer is best used fresh. Store in Fridge/Chiller.
