Making Paneer at Home

I have always seen my mom making fresh Paneer made by adding lemon juice or vinegar to hot milk to separate the curds from the whey. She would strain the curd in a muslin cloth and pressed it down firmly into a block by placing the marble rolling board over it to then cut into cubes. Here is How to make Paneer at home. Extended family in Delhi sprinkles cubes of paneer on any and every dish. While my late Sister-in-law had cravings of fresh Paneer when she was pregnant. She would sprinkle sugar over the warm Paneer and gobble it up.
