Bring milk to just below boiling point. This is when the top is all foamy, and you can see it’s hot and steamy.Once the milk is hot, turn the stove off. Add the lemon juice and stir for 1 minute.
You’ll see the milk begin to curdle, with little white bits separating from the clear(-ish) liquid. The white bits are the good stuff, called curds – the foundations of cheese!
Set a strainer cheesecloth over a large bowl, start by ladling the curdled milk into the lined strainer. When you have spooned in about half, you can pour the rest in.
Bundle up the paneer so it’s wrapped in the cheesecloth, Then give it a rinse under the tap. This is just to remove the excess lemon flavour ,and twist the top of the cloth and squeeze the bundle itself, to squeeze out excess water .
Top with a small plate, then weigh down with 2 x 400g cans or something else of similar weight. This weight helps the paneer set because it’s compressing the cheese, as well as helping to further remove remaining excess water.
your Paneer is ready Enjoy let me know in comment.
