Homemade Cottage cheese (Paneer)

Ingredients...................

1. PureWhole Milk- 1/2 Lt
2. Lemon juice- 2 tbsp

Method...........

• Mix lemon juice in half cup of hot water and put aside.
• Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, making sure not to burn milk, As the milk comes to a boil, add the lemon juice gradually and stir the milk gently. The curd will start separating from the whey, turn off the heat.

• Once the milk fat has separated from the whey, drain the whey using a strainer line with cheesecloth, or muslin cloth.


• Wrap the curds in a muslin cloth, rinse under cold water, and squeeze well. This process takes out the sourness from the lemon.

• To take out the excess water, press the wrapped paneer under a heavy pan for about 1 hour.

• Cottage cheese/ Paneer is ready to make any dishes
