Ingredients

3

1 liter Milk

25 ml Lemon juice

Tips

Use Fresh Milk: For best results, use fresh, full-fat milk and remove the cream as instructed.

Alternative Curdling Agents: Vinegar can be used instead of lemon juice for curdling.

Storage: Store the paneer in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to a week.

Directions

Pour 1000 grams (1 liter) of milk into a large pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Once the milk comes to a boil, let it cool down to room temperature.

Place the cooled milk in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

After refrigeration, the cream (malai) will form a layer on top. Remove this layer carefully to get low-fat milk.

Boil the de-creamed milk again.

Add 25 ml of lemon juice to the boiling milk. Stir gently and let the milk curdle. This process separates the curds from the whey.

Pour the curdled milk through a muslin cloth placed over a strainer. Collect the whey (liquid) and set it aside for later use in curries, soups, or dough.

Wash the collected curds under running cold water to remove the lemony taste.

Place the curds into a paneer maker or any square-shaped tin. Press it down with a weight to remove excess water and shape it into a block.Refrigerate the pressed paneer for 3-4 hours until it sets.

After setting, your low-fat paneer is ready to be used. You’ll get approximately 150 grams of fat-free paneer.

Notes

Lactose Intolerance: Avoid if you are lactose intolerant.

Kidney Issues: Consult a doctor if you have kidney problems due to high protein content.
