Bring 2 litres of milk to the boil in a heavy-based saucepan.

Stir in the yoghurt or lemon juice once the milk begins to rise.

Stir gently over heat for about one minute until the milk curdles and separates.

Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Strain the mixture through a muslin-lined sieve and rinse with cold water.

Hang the cheese cloth for 20 minutes to drain excess liquid.

Press the wrapped cheese under a heavy weight for 40 minutes until firm.

Cut the paneer block into cubes or crumble as needed.
