Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh paneer (crumbled)
- 200 ml Condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Milk powder
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 10 strands Saffron strands (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Warm milk (for saffron)
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut (for coating, optional)
Directions
Step 1
If using saffron, soak the strands in warm milk and set aside to release their color and flavor.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Add the crumbled paneer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it turns soft and releases moisture but does not brown.
Step 3
Add the condensed milk to the pan and mix well with the paneer. Cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Step 4
Add the milk powder, cardamom powder, saffron milk (if using), and chopped pistachios. Mix everything well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture forms a soft dough-like consistency.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until it is just warm to the touch.
Step 6
Grease your palms with ghee or a little neutral oil. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round ladoos approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Step 7
If desired, roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut to coat them evenly for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Step 8
Garnish the ladoos with additional chopped pistachios or a single saffron strand for decoration.
Step 9
Let the ladoos cool completely before serving or storing. These can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
