Paneer is loaded with healthy fats, proteins and very low in carbs.  Making Paneer (cottage cheese) at home is very easy. I always make Paneer at  home. Here is the step by step method to make Paneer. Ingredients Full fat milk ------ 2 liters Alum(fitkari)/   Lemon juice /  Vinegar /   Curd 1/4 cup   whatever available in the kitchen. Let's make Paneer Step 1.  Pour milk to a heavy bottom pot and bring it to a boil on a medium flame. Stir occasionally to ensure the milk doesn't get burnt at the bottom. Step 2.   Meanwhile spread fresh handkerchief or muslin cloth over the strainer. Place this over a large bowl to hold the things. For hygiene purpose, use unused cloths. .                                I am using Alum to curdle the milk.                      Step 3.  When the milk comes to boil, turn the heat low and wait for 5 minutes. Slowly incorporate the vinegar or lemon juice.  If you are using Alum (as I am doing), dip  the alum cube
