The milk will be curdled now .
Filter the whey using a muslin cloth .
Tap the muslin cloth to become flat, with the whey inside it.
Place a heavy bottom pan with water on top of the flattened muslin cloth.
Set aside for an hour.
Remove the fresh paneer from Muslin cloth and cut it in to small cubes using a knife.
Add the crushed pepper corns if u are using it . This is a purely optional step .

ReplyDeleteWould I have to change any amounts if I used skim milk or whole milk?
Thanks!
Hi Katie ,
DeleteI have tried making paneer cubes earlier using skim milk but unfortunately it did not work out . There was more water and no panner at all .
I have even tried the same with fat free milk as well and the result was same as made with skim milk . There was no paneer formed at all .
I would suggest using whole milk or 2 % reduced fat , or 1% reduced fat milk for making paneer . The best paneer cubes are made with whole milk .
Hope this helps ,
Thanks ,
