5. Once again put the milk in a pot and put it on the stove, make sure it boils. Once it boils, put one tablespoon of vinegar. Keep mixing more vinegar if the milk doesn’t separate from the whey.

6. Once it does that, use the same cloth to strain it. Wash it so that the sour taste goes away. After that put the Paneer and put a heavy dish filled will cold water on it. Your Peanut Paneer is ready to use.

7. You can use the leftover paneer that was in the cloth to make halwa, barfi or other sweets. Put it on a plate or tray and sun-dry it. Then put it in a jar and keep it in the fridge.
