How to make home-made Paneer (Indian Cheese)

Ingredients:
Milk  3 cups
Curd, or lemon or vinegar (I used curd) : 3 tablespoons (please see there are no lumps in the curd, just smoothern it if you have thick curd before adding it to make paneer)

Method:

Put milk in a thick bottom pan and bring to boil, when milk starts boiling, it starts producing bubbles and starts rising up. When the boiling milk starts rising, add curd and stir continuously to avoid any lumps. Keep stirring it and if the milk is not curdling, add a few drops of lemon, and keep stirring. It will take about 10 minutes, not that you have to keep stirring for entire 10 minutes, you can take a small break in between and the milk fully separates into a yellow/green color liquid (which is called whey) and paneer. Separate the liquid and paneer with the help of a sieve, press gently the paneer to drain excess water from it and keep it aside for about 17 - 20 mins. Refrigerate (Dont freeze) it for around half an hour to get a stiffer Paneer cubes or use as required.
