Homemade Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese)

Paneer is a Indian cheese that is super easy to make. Making paneer only requires two ingredients: whole milk and and acid like lemon juice, curd or vinegar. This is how mom makes and it comes out perfect every time. Do give it a try and I’m sure you won’t get store-bought again after making it at home. It holds its shape well and doesn’t melt.
