First, we will prepare homemade paneer or cottage cheese. So, without any further ado, let's get started.
How to make Paneer/Cottage Cheese at home
Ingredients
Milk (full cream): 1 litre
White Vinegar: 2 tsp
Water: 2 tsp
You can use lemon juice in place of vinegar.
Instructions
Take one litre full cream milk and boil it.
As the milk is boiling, meanwhile you take a small bowl and add two tsp white vinegar and two tsp of water. Mix them.
When the milk is completely boiled, add this mixture to it and keep stirring. Soon you will see that paneer is separating from the water. Once the water becomes transparent, this step is complete.
Now using a strainer or a muslin cloth separate the paneer from water. This separated water can be used in making veggies, soups or kneading flour as it's very healthy.
Wash paneer using water. This will cool it down and stop the reaction caused by vinegar.
So, our homemade fresh paneer or cottage cheese is ready.
