Bageshwar’s local knowledgeable woman Prema Koranga told Local 18 that for this process you need only two things one liter of milk and half a teaspoon of citric acid. Citric acid is a natural and safe substance obtained from lemon. Which is also usually used in sweets. By using it, the cheese not only bursts quickly, but its taste and texture is also very good.
First of all, boil the milk on high heat in a heavy bottom vessel. When the milk starts boiling, slow down the gas. Now slowly add half a teaspoon of citric acid (in powder form) milk and keep stirring slowly. In a few moments you will see that the milk is torn and the chenna has separated from it. Sieve this torn milk in a muslin cloth or cotton cloth and separate all the water (buttermilk). Now drain this chenna tied in cloth and remove excess water. Keep it in a plate and keep something heavy (like water filled with water) from above so that it is well pressed. If you want, you can keep it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This will make the texture of cheese further solid.
The cheese prepared from this domestic trick is completely pure, protein -rich and without any chemical or preservative. Market cheese often contains adulterations like starch or refined oil, which can be harmful for health, while homemade cheese is completely safe and beneficial for children, elderly. The method of making cheese in this way is so easy that anyone can try it at home.
