Are you tired of buying store-bought paneer that is often hard and tasteless? Learn how to make perfect paneer at home in just 10 minutes!

Gather all the ingredients: milk, lemon juice, and a cheesecloth. Whole milk works best, but you can use any type of milk.

In a pot, bring the milk to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning. Once it boils, turn off the heat and let it cool for a minute.

Add lemon juice to the milk, stirring gently. The milk will start to curdle, and the whey (liquid) will separate from the curds (solid).

Place a cheesecloth over a strainer and pour the curdled milk through it. The cheesecloth will catch the curds, and the whey will drain out.

Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess whey. Rinse the curds with cold water to remove any lemon flavor.

Place the cheesecloth with the curds on a flat surface and shape it into a square. Place a heavy object on top to press out any remaining whey.

After 5-10 minutes, remove the weight and unwrap the cheesecloth. Your homemade paneer is ready to be used in your favorite dishes!

For a firmer paneer, place it in the fridge for a few hours before using. You can also add spices or herbs to the milk before boiling for flavored paneer.

Now that you know how easy it is to make perfect paneer at home, you'll never have to settle for store-bought again. Enjoy your homemade paneer in curries, stir-fries, or even as a snack!
