paneer ka home made kaise banai

A. Making homemade paneer (cottage cheese) in India is simple. Here's a basic recipe: Ingredients: - 1 liter of full-fat milk - 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar Instructions: 1. Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. 2. Once the milk comes to a boil, add lemon juice or vinegar gradually while stirring. The milk will start to curdle. 3. As soon as the milk solids (curds) separate from the whey (liquid), turn off the heat. 4. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the curds to fully separate. 5. Line a strainer with a clean muslin or cheesecloth, and place it over a large bowl or in the sink. 6. Pour the curdled milk into the strainer, allowing the whey to drain away. You can save the whey for other uses if desired. 7. Gather the edges of the cloth and gently squeeze to remove excess whey. Be careful, as the paneer will be hot. 8. Rinse the paneer under cold water to get rid of any residual lemon juice or vinegar. 9. Place a heavy object (like a pan or a container filled with water) on top of the wrapped paneer to press out remaining liquid. 10. Leave it pressed for about 1-2 hours or until the paneer solidifies. Once done, you'll have fresh homemade paneer ready for use in various Indian dishes. Cut it into cubes or crumble as needed for your recipes.
