Homemade paneer

Paneer is probably one of the most popular Indian dishes. It can be cooked with any gravy to make a delicious side to naan or Rotis. Making paneer from home isn’t as hard as you may think and the results are worth it. There is a world of difference between the fresh homemade paneer and the store-bought one. So once in a while, it is worth going through the effort of making your own paneer.

Ingredients

• Full-fat milk (it must be full fat)
•  Lemon juice 

Directions

• Bring the milk to a gentle simmer on low heat
• Add the lemon juice and cook the milk for 10 minutes 
• Once the milk fat separates from the liquid, strain the cheese through a cheesecloth.
• While the paneer is still relatively warm gently work all the excess moisture out of the paneer.
• Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour before use.
