Paneer (Cheese)

Type: Cheese, Eggs
Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2   Milk
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlWhite vinegar and
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlLemon juice or
1 cup 237mlYogurt

Recipe Instructions

Heat milk and stir constantly to prevent a layer of cream from forming on the top. Remove from heat when it boils and slowly add white vinegar and lemon juice or yogurt. This sours the milk. Strain through a muslin cloth or a double layer of cheese cloth and squeeze out the whey (liquid).

Hang to drip dry for 2-3 hours (or overnight). Then lay out the cheese in a rectangle in a tray and place a weight (the more the better, but at least 10 lbs) on it for 3/4 hour.

Cut it into whatever shape you like.
