Instructions
- Heat the milk in a vessel.
- When it starts boiling, keep in slow flame and add the lemon juice and mix properly.
- Heat till the water separates and switch off the flame.
- Now add the ice cubes and mix well. Ice cubes are added to stop the curdling immediately. It prevents the paneer to become hard and makes it soft.
- Now take a metal strainer and line with cheese cloth and pour the curdled milk and strain.
- Wash it well in the running water under the tap to remove the lemon flavor.
- Then squeeze the excess water gently and hang it for 30 minutes without disturbing it.
