{{RecipeMethod
| Heat the [[Milk|milk]] in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring from time to time until it is [[Boiling|boiling]] (about 100° C (225° F).
| Add the [[Vinegar|vinegar]], stir and remove from heat immediately.
| Leave for up to 30 seconds until [[Curds|curds]] have formed.
| Line a [[Colander|colander]] with a double layer of [[Boiled|boiled]] [[Cheesecloth|cheesecloth]] and place in the sink or over a large bowl.
| Pour the [[Cheese|cheese]] into the [[Colander|colander]] and allow to drain until it is cool enough to handle.
| Collect the edges of the cloth and fold them to cover the [[Curds|curds]].
| Fill a heavy pan with cold water and place on the top of the cloth.
| Leave until the [[Cheese|cheese]] is firm - this can take from three to five hours.
| Remove the pan and the cloth and wrap in [[Cling-film|cling-film]].
| It will keep in the [[Fridge|fridge]] for up to a week.

Servings: 10 - Makes about 450 g
===Serving suggestions===
The [[Cheese|cheese]] can be crumbled, [[Fried|fried]] or [[Grilled|grilled]].
===Variations===
If you are on a low-fat diet, try our more traditional [[Mattar paneer|Paneer recipe]] which does not use cream.

You can make a totally organic version by using organic [[Milk|milk]] and [[Vinegar|vinegar]], including [[Cider|cider]] or white vinegar.
===Chef's notes===
If you wish, you can freeze it for up to two months by placing in a self-seal bag and an airtight box such as a [[Lock&Lock boxes|Lock&Lock box]].
