Instant Pot Paneer

8c. milk (about 1/2 gallon)
around 1/4c. white vinegar
1/4c. yogurt


Put milk in the instant pot.  Lid should be on "vent" setting.  Press "yogurt" button, then "adjust", which will set the IP to BOIL.  Once the milk has boiled (somewhere between 30 mins- 1 hr) the IP will switch to yogurt mode.  Cancel and open the lid.

In the sink, line a colander with cheesecloth (doubled over).

Press "yogurt" on the IP and stir the yogurt into the milk.  Add the vinegar, a tablespoon at a time, until the milk curdles and separates.  Add a little more vinegar and stir.  Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth lined strainer and immediately rinse with water to remove the vinegar.

Twist the cheesecloth so that a ball of cheese forms.  Continue twisting until no more water leaks out.  Then flatten the cheese into a disk (still inside the cheesecloth).  Set it into the empty strainer.  Put something heavy on top and leave it for 30 mins. (I used a pot filled with water).

Remove cheesecloth and cut into chunks.  Store in the fridge for a few days.  Salt before eating.  Enjoy!
