PANEER

Ingredients:
1 Litre Whole Milk
Juice of 1 lemon/Lime
Cheese cloth

Method:
Boil Milk and ddd the lemon juice. Continue to heat the milk until large lumps of cheese form. Drain this using a cheese cloth. Tie a knot to the cloth and hand it over night or until all the water is drained. Squeeze to remove extra water (This water is called whey and it can be used while making rotis to the wheat flour and the rotis turn out to be very soft)
Transfer this cheese to a plate or a block and keep a heavy weight on it and leave it over night in the fridge to set. This removes excess water if there is any. Cut into cubes or use it as required in recipes which call for paneer.
