Usually many prepare paneer at home by adding lemon juice or vinegar in hot milk for curdling .
Here I added sour curd in hot milk for curdling to make paneer (cottage cheese) at home.
Easy to prepare and whenever lemons are expensive or you don't have vinegar..this recipe comes in handy for preparing paneer at home.
We also prepare paneer in this way during our Paryushan festival..when we don't use lemon as it contains seeds.
