Take two liters full cream milk in a thick bottom pan and keep for boiling.
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.
Slowly you will see milk will start curdling. It will change into chenna.
Lemon juice helps in curdling of the milk. Add some cold water to it. This will stop its further cooking.
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
Tie the muslin cloth nicely and wash the chenna under running water. This will help in removing the sourness of lemon juice.
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
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.
