Step-by-step guide to making this recipe

3

4
Press the water out firmly and place a weight on top of the paneer.
5
Allow to rest and harden for 2–3 hours in the refrigerator.

Notes
- •Sometimes the hardening in the refrigerator may not work. You may find that the paneer may breakdown into small granules while cooking. The alternate way to make it firm is by steaming it for about 15 minutes.
