Paneer (cheese)
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1½ | pint | Milk |
| ½ | teaspoon | White vinegar AND |
| ½ | teaspoon | Lemon juice OR |
| 1 | cup | Yogurt |
Directions
Method: 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 ¾ hour.
Cut it into whatever shape you like.
