How to make soft paneer||easy paneer recipe

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk + water

Almond milk is dairy-free, while powdered milk is cost-effective.

lemon juice

🥗Healthier: vinegar

💰Cheaper: citric acid

Vinegar can be a more economical option for curdling.

Heat milk in a large pot over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Add lemon juice and stir gently until the milk curdles and separates into curds and whey.

Remove from heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow curds to firm up.

Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curdled milk into it to strain the whey.

Rinse the curds under cold water to remove the acidity from the lemon juice.

Gather the cheesecloth and squeeze out excess whey until the curds are relatively dry.

Shape the curds into a block by pressing them firmly with your hands or a weight for about 30 minutes.

Unwrap the cheesecloth and cut the paneer into cubes or slices as desired.
