Servings12 ladoos
Ingredients
- 1 cup paneer
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 8 nos pistachios
- 3 drops rose essence
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon ghee
- 5 to 6 strands saffron
Instructions
- Take paneer, crumble it well with your hands, set aside.
- Chop the pistachios.
- In the mixer jar, add crumbled paneer, add condensed milk and saffron.
- Grind it to a fine paste, it will be creamy but will have a slight coarse texture when you touch and see.
- Now grease the pan with ghee. If you use nonstick pan then no need to grease.
- Add the paste and start cooking in low flame. In few mins, it will start to thicken. Keep stirring continuously.
- Keep cooking until it becomes thick, it will start to roll and get textured.
- When it starts to leave the sides of the pan, add rose essence, cardamom powder and give a quick mix.
- Pinch a tiny portion, roll and see if it forms a ball, then switch off.
- It will not be completely dry, it will still be moist. Let it cool down for sometime.
- When it is still warm, make small balls. It will be moist at this stage but will become firm after cooling down.
- Roll each ball into the nuts mixture and arrange it in a plate.
- Cool down and store Malai Ladoo in an airtight container.
Notes
- The ladoos are soft and has a melt in the mouth texture.
- I did not add extra sugar, the sweetness from condensed milk was just right for us. If you want you can add a tablespoon of sugar while grinding the paneer mixture.
- I made bit sized ladoos, it looked cute and is kid friendly too. Mittu loved it so much.
- You can skip saffron and make it plain, the ladoos will be white in color.
- You can even use half and half of milk and condensed milk but if you use milk shelf life will be reduced.
