For better results i am also sharing home made paneer/cottage cheese recipe here.
To prepare paneer first boil the milk on high heat in a thick bottomed pan.
As soon as milk starts boiling turn the heat medium and then add white vinegar or lime juice in it. Keep on stirring the milk very slowly with a spoon.
In about 2-3 minutes complete whey will be seprated from paneer, pour the curdled milk into pan or bowl lined with a thin cotton napkin.
Once you are done adding all the curdle milk then bring together the edges of the cotton napkin and gently squeeze out the remaining whey from it.
Rinse the collected bundle of paneer in water this will get rid of the after taste and smell of both lime juice or vinegar,keep a weight on the paneer bundle for 1 to 2 hours.
Paneer is ready now.
To prepare paneer kheer first of all we need to heat the milk in a thick bottom pan.
Boil the milk and then let it simmer utill it becomes thicker in consistency.
Once milk has thickened, add paneer, cardamom powder, saffron, sugar and chopped dry fruits in it.
Cook this mixture on low heat for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Now remove it from the flame and garnish with dry fruits and saffron. I love chilled kheer but you can serve as your choice warm or cold! Enjoy:blush:!!
