How to prepare paneer from scratch
To prepare paneer, all you need to do is pour milk into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil. Now turn off the flame and keep adding lemon juice bit by bit while stirring the milk. Soon you will see that the milk has started curdling. Now cover it with a lid for one minute and you will see that the solids are separated from the milk. Take a colander and place a muslin cloth over it. Strain the excess water. Place it under a heavy utensil or object to strain all the excess water. Allow it to set for a minimum of one hour and your homemade paneer or cottage cheese is ready.
