Homemade Paneer

Ingredients

  • 4 liters/1 gallon full fat milk
  • 1 lemon or 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • A large pot
  • A cheese cloth or clean towel or clean tee-shirt

Preparation

Step 1

Gently warm the milk and squeeze a little lemon juice in it. Not too much, all you want is for the milk to curdle.

Gently mix with a wooden spatula and add more lemon juice (or vinegar) until the milk has split into a transparent liquid and little lumps of soft white matter. That's your cheese.

Wash an already clean towel a couple more times under fresh water. We don't want to make lavender soap cheese. Wrap it into a bowl or strainer, put everything in the sink and pour in the split milk.

Add a plate and some weight on top and leave in the fridge for a couple hours. Some more water will come out, just discard it.
