Steps for preparation

  • Boil the peanuts milk on medium flame, and this will take up to 15-20 minutes.
  • Add vinegar/lemon juice and keep stirring on a low heat for 30-40 seconds.
  • Now, it will begin to curdle and separate from the whey (if after this time it doesn’t start to curdle add the extra tablespoon of vinegar).
  • Turn off the flame and strain the mixture into the muslin cloth and add 1 cup of cold water (you can save the whey if you wish). 
  • Gather the muslin cloth and squeeze out as much water from it, twist and flatten it. 
  • Place it on a plate and place a heavy weight over it to set for 7-8 hours. 
  • Unwrap the paneer, cut into bite-sized cubes and add to your favourite curry or refrigerate in an airtight container.
  • Here, Vegan cottage cheese or paneer is ready to eat.
