Short on time but need an authentic Indian sweet?

Paneer Kheer (Chanar Payesh) is a quick Indian dessert made with grated fresh paneer and simmered milk. It gives you the rich, grainy texture of traditional ras malai in a fraction of the time.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh paneer, grated
• 3 cups full-fat milk
• 1/2 cup condensed milk
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• 1 pinch saffron strands soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk

Recipe:

1. Bring milk to a boil in a wide pan and reduce heat to low.
2. Stir in condensed milk and saffron liquid, mixing well.
3. Add grated paneer slowly and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes.
4. Add cardamom powder and stir gently to avoid breaking the paneer completely.
5. Turn off heat, let cool, and serve chilled garnished with pistachios.
