Recipe type: cheese and fresh herbs
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 1 lb.
- 12 cups whole milk
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- pinch of salt to taste
- Heat milk in a large pot until it comes to a boil
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
- Stir for about 30 seconds and the milk will begin to curdle. If it doesn't, add another tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Pour into a cheesecloth-lined colander.
- When most of the liquid is drained, rinse with cold water. This gets rid of the lemon taste.
- Pick up the corners of the cloth and twist into a ball squeezing out as much of the moisture as possible.
- Open and stir in a dash of salt and add more if you like.
- Wrap up again and twist the cloth to the side and flatten into an oval shape.
- Place on a paper towel-lined plate and flatten with the twist to the side.
- Add a weight. I used a skillet filled with canned goods.
- Allow the paneer to drain with weight for 20 minutes.
- Remove the weight and cloth and the cheese is ready to use.
