About Paneer Kheer
To begin with first start by boiling milk, then reduce it to almost half. Add sugar and saffron simmer for 5 mins then add paneer. Mix well, simmer for few more mins then finally add cardamom powder and nuts. Mix well and switch off. Your creamy paneer kheer is ready! Serve chilled or warm.
This tastes close to rasmalai with soft paneer in rabdi. So if you are a fan of rasmalai then you should definitely give this a try. I have already tried and posted this paneer payasam recipe years back where I used cornflour to thicken the milk but I love this version more. This payasam is also called as channar payesh.
I have used 2 litres Stahl sauce pan. Milk did not stick to the bottom at all even after a long time boiling and simmering and no wonder this sauce pan is one of my favorite sauce pans that I use now.

Variations
- You can add few drops of rose essence or rose water for extra flavour.

- Use homemade fresh paneer if you have it.
- Use condensed milk replacing sugar, it makes the payasam gets done even quicker.
