Paneer-Cottage cheese


In many countries its very difficult to find the right kind of paneer used in our cooking. This recipe is for all those who cannot find paneer in their area.
1 litre milk
1/2 tsp citric acid or 1 tbsp vinegar


Heat milk & bring it to a boil. Switch of the gas & after 2 min. add citric acid dissolved in 1/4 cup of luke warm water or diluted vinegar to the milk. Stir. The milk will curdle. Put it in a strainer or cheese cloth & allow the water to drain by itself.
If you need crumbled paneer for your recipe you can use it directly else to obtain cubes give it a rectangular shape & wrap it in a cheese cloth. Keep it under heavy weight for 30 min. Cut and use as required.

For later use keep the paneer refridgirated wrapped in plastic wrap or in a box filled with water.
