How to make paneer.

Ingredients:

1 litre milk
2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar or few crystals of citric acid.
a pinch of salt

Procedure:
1.Take a litre of full cream milk and boil it.
2. When the milk comes to a full boil add the lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid crystals (If citric acid is being used, dissolve it in 2 tbsp water before adding)
3. When the milk curdles (it will leave a lot of water too) then turn off the gas. Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
4. In a large vessel, tie a muslin cloth, pour the curdled milk over it. Tie the muslin cloth and knot it.
5. Hang it for sometime. After all the water is drained, add a pinch of salt. Mould this mixture in a rectangular shape.
6. Now place this cloth under a heavy weight for 2-3 hours for the paneer to set.

Tip: Do not throw the whey (the leftover water), it can be used for kneading dough for chapatis.
