HOME MADE LOW FAT PANEER

Paneer (Cottage cheese) that we get from market is normally made with whole milk.....however for health conscious people this is often a no - no. So here is the way you can make paneer at home with toned milk.
I am pure vegetarian so paneer is my main source of protein.

Ingredients:

• Toned milk - 1ltr
• 1 lemon juice - 1 tbsp
• Cotton cloth -- muslin cloth

Method:

• Turn on the stove and boil milk.

                                                       

• When milk is boiling start adding small quantity of lemon juice and stir the milk. 

• Repeat the step until all of lemon juice is added. 
• Switch off the gas.
• Milk will now start to separate.
• Leave it aside for 2 min after that milk solid part would have separated completely. 

                                                   

• Now take a cotton cloth (muslin cloth) and filter to separate solid portion of the milk. 

                                                     

• Pour cold water on the paneer or chenna to wash away the sourness of lemon juice.
• Remove excess water from the paneer by pressing with a heavy object ( i use rolling board ).
• This solidifies the paneer . leave it like that for 20 to 25 min. 

                                               

• Now paneer is ready.cut in to cubes or any shape u like.
