How can I ensure that my paneer turns out soft and tender when preparing it at home?

To ensure that your paneer turns out soft and tender when preparing it at home, make sure to use fresh and full-fat milk, avoid over-stirring the curds while they are forming, and press the paneer gently to remove excess whey without squeezing it too hard. Additionally, soaking the paneer in cold water after pressing can help improve its texture.
