Turn off the flame when soybean milk is ready.
Let the soybean milk's temperature come to 70-80 degree. Meanwhile, grind the tatri and soak it in 1 table spoon luke warm water.
Mix the citric water with soybean milk and stir 1-2 times. Do not stir continuously. Withing 15-20 minutes the milk will coagulate and you will be able to see water separating from it. If you think that the milk has not yet been fully coagulated, then pour some more citric solution to it. Sieve the coagulated milk instantly, else the tofu will not get soft.
Once the milk and the water separates, spread a clean cloth over a strainer and pour the milk over it. Tofu will get collected on the cloth and the water will strain down into the bowl.
Tight squeeze the cloth after folding it from both the ends and then place a hevay object at the corner to strain any excess water from the tofu.
You can get a good quality and soft tofu after 30-40 minutes. The tofu inside the cloth will freeze inside the cloth that can be used to make various different dishes or you can even fry it in a non-stick pan with little oil and sprinkle some spices over it. Tofu tastes better than nay normal paneer.
If you are using Tofu instantly then it is fine, else you can store it in the refrigerator in a bowl filled with drinking water. Change the water everyday. This way you can use it for over a week.
