🧀 Homemade Cheese (3 Ingredients – Super Easy)
This is a simple fresh cheese (like paneer) you can make at home—no special equipment needed.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 liter milk (full cream works best)
- 2–3 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- Pinch of salt (optional)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Heat the milk
Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. - Add acid (lemon/vinegar)
Lower heat and slowly add lemon juice while stirring.
👉 Milk will curdle (separate into curds + whey) - Strain
Pour into a cloth or sieve to separate the curds. - Rinse (important)
Wash with cold water to remove sour taste. - Shape
- Tie cloth and squeeze water
- Press under a heavy object for 20–30 minutes
- Done!
Cut into cubes or crumble.
😋 What you get
- Soft, fresh cheese (similar to paneer)
- Mild taste, slightly creamy
- Great for cooking or snacking
💡 Tips
- Full-fat milk = softer, richer cheese
- More lemon = firmer cheese
- Don’t overboil after curdling (can make it rubbery)
🍽️ Ways to use it
- Add to curries (like paneer dishes)
- Grill or fry lightly
