Take two liters full cream milk in a steel pan and keep for boiling
Let it boil. Keep stirring. Meanwhile keep lemon juice ready in a small bowl
Once milk is boiled add lemon juice to it and switch off the flame
Slowly you will see milk will start changing into chenna. Lemon juice helps in curdling milk
Add some cold water to it. This will stop it's further cooking
Water will separate from the chenna. Now keep a muslin cloth over a container and sieve the mix
Pour all the contents carefully in 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 slab of paneer
Cut it into the required size pieces and use it in cooking. Homemade soft and hygienically prepared paneer is ready.
