Paneer Cheese Kheer Pudding Recipes

PANEER CHEESE KHEER PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the paneer cheese. Prepare the dessert masala. Then, in a food processor process the paneer cheese until finely crumbled. (Do not process to much or it will go beyond crumbling and gather into a ball. If using ricotta cheese, do not process.)2. Place the sugar and water in a medium wok or saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the processed paneer cheese (or ricotta cheese), reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until most of the water evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes.3. Add the milk and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the pudding is reduced by about half and is thick and creamy, 30 to 40 minutes.4. Transfer to a serving dish, mix in the cardamom seeds and rose essence, and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. (Stir a few times to prevent a skin from forming on top.) Refrigerate at least 4 hours to serve chilled. Just before serving, swirl in the dessert masala as a garnish.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
