Home made Paneer

Always paneer made at home taste a lot better than the store brought ones. Just 2 ingredients and its very simple to make. Its easy to make, but i hate the cleaning part, we end up using lot of utensils  :(
Ingredients:

Milk - 1 Gallon ( I used 2%, but whole milk would be much better )
Lemon - 3 big ( I used approximately 2 and 1/2 ).


Method:

Line a colander with double layer of cheescloth and set it aside.

Birng milk to a boil, make sure to stir in between to avoid burning at the bottom.

Now bring the flame to low and add the lemon juice.

Stir and you can see the curds and whey getting separated. This should not take more than 2 to 3 minutes. If you over cook it would turn rubbery.

Now trun off the heat and pour them in the colander lined with cheescloth and rinse with cold water very gently to get rid of the lemon smell.
Squeeze the water and tie the cheescloth and let it hang for couple of minutes for the excess water to drain. ( I have used a wooden spoon and a tall pot to hang the cheescloth).

Now place them in a colander and add as much weight as possible for an hour.

Now the Paneer is ready! Cut them in to cubes, for sure the edges won't turn into proper cubes..store the crumbles and cubes separately.

Freeze them and use when needed!
