Cottage Cheese is one of the most delicious cheeses one can try. Paneer tastes even better when made at home. But, it can be difficult to make Paneer without knowing the hacks, and the Paneer can turn rubbery, too. Why not use these hacks as you start?

Always start with fresh and good-quality milk. You can use whole milk for better results.

Remember to avoid overheating the milk. It can make paneer tough and rubbery.

The finer the cloth, the smoother the paneer. Muslin Cloth always comes in handy!

While setting the paneer, use a light hand while pressing. Pressing too hard can make the paneer dense.

If the paneer has become slightly tough, soak it in warm water. A pinch of salt also helps.

You can add a tablespoon of cream or a few teaspoons of milk powder to make it creamy.

Before using the paneer in a recipe, marinate it in a mixture of yoghurt or curd with a pinch of salt. It makes it tasty and soft, miraculously.
