Yields:6
Ingredients
Milk - 5 cups
Lemon Juice - 2 tblsp
Sugar - 2 tblsp
Cocoa Powder - 1 tblsp
Cashew - to garnish
Method
- Bring milk to boil and add the lemon juice.The milk will start to curdle.When the milk has curdled completely place a cheese cloth or muslin cloth over a colander /strainer and keep a vessel under it to collect the whey.Wash this under cold tap water to remove sourness from lemon.Hang this on the tap for about twenty minutes so that any excess liquid drains in the sink.
- Knead this well.Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder to this and knead again to make a soft dough.Make small balls,flatten gently and in the middle make an impression with your thumb and place the cashew or any other nuts of choice.
Little Words
- Ready made paneer can also be used but it would require vigorous kneading.
- Washing in cold tap water several times removes the sourness from lemon or curd.
- If using curd to curdle milk 1/4 th of cup would be enough.
- Fresh paneer would be moist and kneading into dough would be eaasy.
- Adding powdered sugar helps in easy mixing.
