Paneer Kheer Barfi

By Amaleena


Today I am sharing with you the recipe of my favourite Paneer Kheer Barfi.

Ingredients (makes 12)
Paneer 150 grams
Condensed milk 200 grams
Fresh cream 100 grams (I used Amul Cream)
Elaichi powder 1 tsp
Rose water 1 tsp
Kaju chopped 2 tbsp
Raisins chopped 1 and half tbsp
Ghee 2 tbsp


Method
First, smash the paneer with hand. Smash it finely. Use cream paneer, which gets smashed very easily.

Soak kaju in luke warm water for 5 minutes. Drain the water and chop it finely. Chop raisins also and keep the two aside.
In a wok, pour the ghee and tilt the wok so that the inner surface of the wok is covered with a layer of the ghee. (This layer of the ghee prevents the ingredients to stick at the bottom of the wok)

Now pour the condensed milk and cream. Stir.

Mix the paneer. There will be small paneer crumbs. Stir continuously on low heat. This will melt all the crumbs.

When the mixture starts thickening, add elaichi powder and rose water. Stir Continuously.

The mixture will thicken like a soft dough. It is done.

Remove from heat and spread it on a flat surface. Brush this flat surface with little melted ghee from beforehand.
Add kaju and raisins on the top. I also added some kesar strands. Lightly press the dry fruits so that they stick to the barfi.

Let the whole thing cool for 2-3 hours. As it cools it will harden. If your barfi mix is soft, you can refrigerate.
Once cooled, cut into barfi and serve.
