How to make paneer soft and spongy?

[pateltimil94]

Achieving soft and spongy paneer is key to elevating any matar paneer recipe. Start by boiling milk and adding lemon juice or vinegar until it curdles completely. Strain the curdled milk through a cheesecloth and rinse it under cold water to remove any acidic taste. Squeeze out excess water and hang the paneer to drain for about 30 minutes. Once drained, place a heavy object on top to press it gently for another 30 minutes. This process ensures a soft and spongy texture. Incorporate this homemade paneer into your matar paneer recipe for a truly delightful culinary experience.

To make paneer soft and spongy, follow these steps:

1. Use Full-Fat Milk: Always use fresh, full-fat milk to get the best texture.
2. Add Acid Slowly: Use lemon juice or vinegar and add it gradually to the boiling milk to curdle. Stop once the whey separates.
3. Strain and Rinse: After separating, strain the paneer and rinse it under cold water to remove the acidity.
4. Press Gently: Don't press the paneer too hard. Lightly press it to drain excess water but still retain moisture.
5. Soak in Warm Water: After pressing, immerse the paneer in warm water for 10-15 minutes to enhance its softness.
