Notes: Fo making paneer(about 150 grams) , boil 1 litre of full fat milk. When it comes to a boil, add 2 - 3 tbsps of vinegar till the milk curdles and the water is a clear pale yellow. Strain the cottage cheese and drain the whey. Tansfer the cottage cheese onto a piece of cloth and place it under some weight for it to set. To get firm paneer, you need to keep it for at least 3 hours.
