    Yes lemon can be used, but I made it the other way with yogurt (2 litres milk and 250ml yogurt). If I was making mine with lemon, I'd use 2tbsps of lemon. Also compressing the Paneer with a weight for the 30/40 minutes. Then store it in water in a sealed container like mozzarella is. - 3/4/08

    If you use Yogurt, don't you wind up with yogurt rather than cheese? In India, I believe that some of the whey is saved from the last batch and added to the cooked milk. I wouldn't add yogurt cultures unless yogurt is the product I want. I make a tiny batch, collect the whey, and make a big batch. - 3/31/10
