Malai Ladoo with paneer
Malai Ladoo with paneer is a soft, creamy, and delightful Indian sweet, perfect for festive celebrations, parties, and special occasions.
Ingredients
1 cup = 250 ml
FOR LADOO
FOR GARNISH
- 1 tsp saffron milk
- Pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Take a heavy bottomed pan and add 2 tbsp water and 1 litre milk in it.
- Leave it to boil.
- Do stir it occasionally and scrape the edges to remove malai sticking there.
- This milk has to be boiled till it is reduced from 1 litre to 250 ml i.e. 4 cups to 1 cup.
- Till the time milk is reducing, take paneer in a plate and mash it well so that there remains no chunks and it turns all creamy.
- When the milk is reduced to 250 ml, add sugar, green cardamom seeds after crushing and desi ghee.
- Let sugar melt completely.
- Add mashed paneer and mix well.
- Now keep cooking until the mixture thickens and start leaving the sides of the pan.
- Switch off the heat and let the mixture cool down completely.
- Make the balls out of entire mixture.
- Put a dot of saffron milk on the top of each ladoo.
- Also put a small piece of Pistachio for garnish.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Mostly sweets turn out best when made with cow's milk but in case of non-availability, you can go for other options.
- The quantity of paneer is adjustable as less the paneer, more you have to cook the mixture and more the paneer, less you need to cook.
- These ladoos can be made more quickly by not reducing the milk from 1 litre to 250 ml. Just take 250 ml directly and add 3 cups of milk powder in it and cook until thick. It will save more of your time and make the recipe instant.
- The another one quick option is to grind 1 cup paneer with 1/2 cup condensed milk and thereafter cook the mixture till thick and bindable to ladoos.
