This low-fat paneer is manufactured with low-fat milk; therefore, it has less fat than conventional paneer.

Ingredients

2 litres of low-fat milk 2 tbsp of vinegar Milk pot or saucepan Muslin cloth or kitchen towel

Step 1

Bring the milk to a boil in a deep pan, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, gradually add the vinegar, stirring carefully.

Step 2

Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring periodically. Once the milk has curdled, drain it through a muslin cloth.

Step 3

Wash the paneer well. This is crumbled paneer. To produce firm paneer, lay it in a muslin towel on a clean surface.

Step 4

Put a hefty weight on the paneer and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the low-fat paneer from the muslin cloth and, after 30 minutes, cut it into even-sized cubes or grate it to use as needed.
