- 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.
