PANEER PREPARATION AT HOME:
- Most of the people know that how to make paneer at home. But I want to share the process of paneer making at home.
- Pour 5 or 6 packets of milk in a big vessel and boil it, after boiling the milk keep it in low flame.
- Now pour lemon (3 or 4) juice in the boiled milk, mix well with the help of big spatula.
- If lemons aren't available in our home, we can use vinegar also.
- It turns into curdled milk, now switch off the stove and filter the curdled milk with the help of clean cotton cloth.
- Now tie that cloth with filtered curdled milk tight and place weight on it.
- Leave it for 2 hours until it is dried i.e., water is fully removed from curdled milk.
- Now, panner is prepared. Keep the paneer in the refrigerator.
- Paneer is ready to cook for any recipes.
- We can preserve paneer for three days in the refrigerator ( do not keep in high cool).
- When ever you want paneer cut them into square cubes or whichever shape you want to and you can use them.
- If the paneer is hard, keep the paneer cubes in boiling water for five minutes, then paneer will get into soft texture.
