Method for making paneer

I make this with the fresh paneer or called as chenna but you can also use frozen one but here it is how you can made chenna:-

• Take a wide mouth vessel and boil milk in this.

• Bring milk to boil then take it off from flame.

• Allow it to get cool down.

• Now remove the cream from the top of milk and heat again.

• Meanwhile if you are using lemon juice or vinegar for curdling the milk then mix it with a cup of water.

• Once milk starts boiling then reduce the heat and start adding way water or lemon juice or vinegar into it.

• You will see that milk will start curdling and water will get separated from it.

• Once you see that milk is completely curdled and water is transparent then remove it from heat.

• Filter the curdled milk (Chenna) in a muslin cloth and pour one glass normal water into it.

• Squeeze out water completely from it by pressing between your hands.

• Hang it for another half an hour to drain out water completely if any left out.
