See the mixture to curdle. Shut off the heat immediately.

Drain the mixture into the cheese basket

Now transfer the cheese (still in the cheesecloth) to the mould

Once the paneer has cooled a bit (15 minutes or so), cover it with the hanging over moist cheesecloth on each side.

Put a bowl under the mould when you put it in the fridge because it will continue to drain.

Place it in the fridge for at least six hours. For best results, let it rest overnight.

Cut into pieces and enjoy!
