Bring milk to a boil in a vessel. Add vinegar (or lemon juice). |

You will see the milk starts to curdle. Put off the flame. |

You will see that the milk separates as seen in the pic. |

Using a muslin cloth and a strainer underneath, strain the curdled milk. |

Twist the muslin cloth as shown in pic. |

Keep a weight on top of twisted cloth with paneer. Keep for at least 30 minutes under the weight. |
|

Once done, remove paneer from cloth. |

Cut into desired pieces. Store in Zip lock bag in refrigerator or use right away in a paneer recipe. (Yields about 250 grams of paneer) |

Will I get the desired results with 2% milk???
Hi Vinda, 2% milk can also be used, the paneer will be slightly less rich and creamy. Avoid using skim and nonfat milks; these don’t separate as easily into curds and whey. I have not tried using 2% milk though to make paneer, but it should work. Do try out and let me know.
What can u do with the left over liquid?…throw it out?
Hi Tina
I usually throw it out , but I read somewhere recently that the liquid can be used in Making dal etc
Thank you
