Homemade Paneer

Ingredients:

Milk	1 lt
Vinegar	2 tsp

Method:

1. Mix 3 tbsp of water to vinegar and keep ready. 
2. Place a strainer over a wide bowl. Spread thin cloth over the strainer and keep this ready. 
3. Boil milk. Keep stirring in between to avoid sticking to the bottom. Once the milk comes to a boil, lower the flame. Add vinegar-water mix little by little and stir gently till the milk solids and water separates (Water should appear clear). 
4. Switch off the flame and immediately pour 2-3 glasses of water (this will reduce the temperature). 
5. Pour over the strainer and strain. Milk solids will be separated. Again wash well with 2-3 glasses of water. Then close the cloth and squeeze out the water as much as possible. 
6. Loosen the squeezed knot little bit and place over the strainer. Place a plate over this and a heavy wait over the plate. 
7. Keep aside undisturbed for 15 minutes (not more than that. Paneer will become harder). After 15 minutes open the cloth. Homemade Paneer is ready.
8. Keep uncut paneer in an air tight box and store in fridge for later use. 

From 1 lt of milk, we get 200 gms of paneer.
