Paneer Barfi Recipe

Ingredients

( 1 ) 1 litre milk

( 2 ) 1 lime

( 3 ) 1 cup sugar

( 4 ) 5 strands of kesar (dissolved in a little milk)

( 5 ) 5 cardamom pods

( 6 ) A few almonds, a few pistas

( 7 ) Silver foil for decoration

Method

( 1 ) Boil milk. Add lime juice till paneer is formed. Strain and tie it in a muslin cloth. Place some weight on it. Keep aside for 2 hours. All the water will be removed.

( 2 ) Knead the paneer well. Make sugar syrup with sugar and enough water. Make one thread sugar syrup.

( 3 ) Add kesar, paneer and the cardamom powder. When it is thick enough remove from flame and spread in a greased dish. Decorate with chopped almonds and pistas. (If you like chocolate taste sprinkle grated chocolate.)

( 4 ) Make balls from the thickened mawa.

Variation

( 1 ) Cut the silver foil into square shape. Decorate the balls. The balls will seem to be of two colours, white from above and yellow below.

( 2 ) Decorate with cardamom or pista powder.
