Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
If using saffron, soak the strands in warm milk and set aside to release their color and flavor.
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.
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.
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.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until it is just warm to the touch.
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.
If desired, roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut to coat them evenly for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Garnish the ladoos with additional chopped pistachios or a single saffron strand for decoration.
Let the ladoos cool completely before serving or storing. These can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
