Method:
Boil 4 cups milk in a steel pan and boil the remaining 4 cups milk in a non-stick pan Once the milk in the steel pan comes to a rolling boil, slowly add lemon juice. When the milk turns to paneer switch off the stove and strain the paneer in a cheese cloth. Pour a little cold water over the paneer and hang the cheese cloth and strain all the liquid.
Grind the Paneer in processor to smooth dough. Make the paneer into 12 equal portions of small balls. Roll the portions in your hands until a smooth ball is formed. Lightly press the ball until it flattens out. In the pressure cooker with water, dissolve 1 cup sugar and add the flattened paneer. Close pressure cooker lid and cook until one whistle sounds. Switch off the stove and set the timer for exactly 5 minutes.After 5 minutes, carefully take the pressure cooker to the sink and pour cold water over the lid to remove the pressure. Remove the paneer from syrup and allow to cool.
Server it cool.
