Paneer

Description

The great news about Paneer is that you can make it yourself at home if you’re feeling up to some homemade, fresh cheese. Perhaps the best part about making Paneer at home is that the ingredients and items necessary are so simple. You’ll have delicious Indian cheese in under one hour. Here is a quick overview of how to make paneer:

You line your colander with a large double layer of cheesecloth and set it in the sink. Then, bring 8 cups of whole milk to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring. Once that happens, add in your lemon juice and turn the heat to low.

While stirring, the curds will start forming! Remove from heat and pour contents into your lined colander and rinse with cold water. Take the cheesecloth in hand and squeeze out the excess liquid. Then tie it to your faucet to let the remaining liquid drain.

After that, twist the ball tightly and place another plate on top and weigh it down with a heavy pot to ensure smooth cheese. Refrigerate it like this for about 20 minutes and then enjoy!
