             Ingredients

• Milk- 1 ltr
• Fresh lemon juice- 1 1/2 tsp or vinegar-1 1/2 tsp or citric acid

      Boil milk in a pan. Reduce the heat and add vinegar or citric acid or lemon juice. If you are using citric acid then dissolve it in 2-3 tbsp of water before adding. Milk will start curdling.When milk curdles,strain it through a cheese cloth or cotton or muslin cloth and tie it with a tight knot and hang it for 15 minutes to drain water,if any,completely. Now place the cloth under heavy weight for 2-3 hours before.Now cut it into any shape which you want.  

Note- If you want you can use the leftover water  for kneading chapati or parantha dough.
