The Preparation Method:

• In a heavy bottomed saucepan ,bring the milk to a boil over medium high heat. Let it boil for few minutes 
• Add lemon juice to the milk, it will begin to curdle. Use minimum amount of lemon juice to just start the curdling process and prevent the whey (milky water) from completely separating immediately.
