INGREDIENTS:
| MILK | 1 LITRE |
| LEMON JUICE | 2 TBLSP |
| SUGAR | 1/4 CUP |
| MILK MASALA | A PINCH(OPTIONAL) |
| CARDAMOM POWDER | A PINCH |
| PISTACHIO | FEW (FOR GARNISHING) |
METHOD:
- Bring the milk to boil and once it is done simmer the flame and add the lemon juice.
- while adding the lemon juice dilute this with 1-2 tblsp of water.
- When the milk starts curdling and the water separates switch off the flame and immediately strain this in a muslin cloth and wash it nicely to get rid of the sour taste of lemon.

- Squeeze out the excess water. Now the fresh paneer is formed.
- Making it into a smooth dough by nicely kneading with your hands for 4-5 mins.
- Since in the original recipe it has given the option of doing this in a food processor, i put the paneer in the mixie along with sugar and milk masala powder. If using cardamom powder add at this stage.
- Run the mixie for few seconds. This will become smooth and become a paste. This may be watery, do not panic.

- Transfer this mixture to a pan and saute this nicely for 2 mins in a medium flame or till you reach the right consistency.
- Switch off the flame.

- Transfer this to a plate and knead well for a minute.
- At this stage when you make a ball, it should be made without any cracks.
- Go ahead of making equal sized balls and slightly flatten this.
- Garnish with pistachios.
