Homemade Paneer

Making paneer seemed like I was performing titration in a chemistry lab :)...Keep adding the lemon juice into milk..and at one point of time the milk completely curdles and you get the soft creamy paneer! :)

Ingredients
1 Litre whole fat milk (used Nandini orange packet milk)
Lemon juice (use 2 medium sized lemons)


Procedure-Heat 1 Litre of milk in a pan.When it comes to a boil add the lemon juice.Do not add all the lemon juice at once as the paneer may become sour due to excessive lemon content.Add a teaspoon give the milk a stir and check if the milk is curdling..Repeat this until the all the milk curdles.Throughout the process the milk has to be stirred continuously.After the milk has curdled separate the water using a sieve.Transfer the slimy mixture obtained into a muslin cloth and away the water completely and then squeeze the cloth to remove the water until a solid ball of paneer is obtained.Chill the paneer for an hour and use it.
