Ingredients
500gms / 3 cupsPaneer, grated
400gms / 1 1/3 cupsSweetened condensed milk
1tspCardamom powder
1/4tspKewra essenceOptional
Garnish
Finely chopped pistachios
Cardamom powder
Silver foil / Vark
Instructions
Mash the grated paneer with your hands until smooth.
Add the mashed paneer and condensed milk to a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai.
Mix well and cook on low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan. This can take about 10-12 minutes.
Once the mixture is thickened, take it off the heat and mix in the cardamom powder and kewra essence.
Transfer the mixture to a plate or a wide bowl. Let it cool a bit.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead it lightly for 1-2 minutes.If the mixture feels too grainy, you can grind it in a food processor to make it smooth.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Grease your hands lightly with ghee, this will help roll the laddus easily.
Place on a serving platter and decorate with silver foil, sprinkle the cardamom powder and chopped pistachios lightly.
