This is a recipe that can be done with simple ingredients around your house in no time.

Ingredients:

For Paneer:

- 4 cups milk (I used 2% milk)
- Lemon juice 1/4 cup diluted with 1/2 cup water

For Sugar Syrup:

- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/4 sugar

Procedure:

1. First boil the milk. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, add the lemon juice mixture 1 tablespoon at a time. As soon as the paneer seperates from the whey drain it in a piece of cheese cloth or any kind of thin cloth. Add cold water on top to prevent getting a sour smell in your panner.
2. Let the cloth sit with either a heavy item on top of it or just hang the cloth on your sink. Let it sit for about 20 mins or so. Occasionally press it down with a napkin to get the excess water.
3. Form it into a soft dough by need or put it in the food processor.
4. Then make it into tiny balls with no cracks in them.

5. In a pressure cooker, add the sugar and the water. Let it simmer and carefully drop the balls in.

6. Wait for one whistle on high and turn it off. Let it sit for 5 mins and run cold water over the pressure cooker to let the pressure out. Then open.

7. Refrigerate until firm then serve!
