Panir Cheese Ingredients - 1 gallon milk 1/3 to 1/2 cup lemon juice Steps - Bring milk to the boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to low and while gently stirring, add lemon juice. When the milk separates into cheese curds and whey turn off the heat. Separate whey and curds using cheese-cloth. Rinse the curds to remove some of the lemon. Wrap and squeeze the curds to remove water to firm up the cheese.
