Fresh Paneer

Directions

1. Empty one gallon of milk into the large stockpot and bring to a “boil” on medium heat while constantly stirring. Please stir frequently and keep an eye on things or you will end up with a very messy stovetop! 😉

2. Once the milk is boiling, turn off the heat and add the salt (Optional) and lemon juice.

3. Begin stirring slowly and gently until you see the milk begin to clot. Keep stirring until all the curds are formed.

5. Remove from the burner and allow it to cool for 20-30 minutes. 

6. Arrange your strainer over the large bowl and line the strainer with cheesecloth.  

6. Slowly pour the milk into the bowl though the cheese cloth and strainer. Once all the curd is captured, gather up the edges and close the cheese cloth. 

7. Gently squeeze the moisture from the curds and then allow it to rest on a plate for and hour.

8. Carefully open the cheese cloth removing your newly formed and ready to use paneer. Enjoy!!!
