Kitchen equipment:
Cheese cloth (amzn.to/2rMtSYv)*
Ingridients:
2 liters milk (3.8% or more), juice of 1 - 2 lemons
Preperation:
First bring your milk to boil on medium heat. Now turn of the heat, take your pot off the stove and add the lemon juice spoonwise until the milk start to curdle. Stir the milk very gently, otherwise you will get too many milk particles, which will make the other steps more difficult. Put the pot back on the stove, so the milk can curdle in the remaining heat.
Put your cheese cloth over a sieve and put the sieve over a bowl. Now pour you curdled milk into the sieve. Rinse the curd with cold water to stop the curdling process. This will give the paneer a very silky texture.
Once most of the whey is drained, hang the curd in the cheese cloth to furhter drain for about an hour.
In the next step, knead the curd and form it into a rectangle. Wrap the curd back into the cheese cloth and take care that there are no wrinkles, so your paneer will have a smooth surface. Put the wrapped curd on hard even surface and put a weight on it. The weight should be even as well and distribute its weight evenly across the curd. Let it rest for a few hours until the paneer takes its form. Do not keep it for too long though, so your paneer does not become to dry.
