Steps

1

Take two liters full cream milk in a thick bottom pan and keep for boiling.
2

Let it boil. Keep stirring. Take lemon juice in a small bowl. Once the milk is boiled add lemon juice to it and switch off the flame.
3

Slowly you will see milk will start curdling. It will change into chenna.
4

Lemon juice helps in curdling of the milk. Add some cold water to it. This will stop its further cooking.
5

Water will separate from the chenna. Now keep a muslin cloth over a container and pour the mix. Pour all the contents carefully into the muslin cloth
6

Tie the muslin cloth nicely and wash the chenna under running water. This will help in removing the sourness of lemon juice.
7

Now keep the tied potli of chenna over a turned up plate and place some heavyweight on it so that excess water drains out slowly. Keep like this for nearly 2 hours
8

After two hours you will get a mass of solid paneer.

Cut it into the required size pieces and use it in cooking. Homemade soft and hygienically prepared paneer is ready.
