Instructions
- Prepare the paneer: Bring the milk to a rolling boil in a metal pan.
- Slowly add in the lemon juice with stirring.
- Stir for a further minute and remove from the heat.
- Strain the mixture through some cheesecloth, muslin, or even an old popsock!
- Wash the paneer under cold running water and hang over the tap to drain for 30 minutes.
- Either process the paneer in a food processor to make it smooth, or knead for several minutes until the paneer ceases to be crumbly.
- Break off pieces of the paneer just slightly smaller than the a table-tennis ball. Roll into smooth balls and place on a plate. You should make about 12 balls.
- Dissolve the sugar in 3 cups (750 ml/ 24 fl oz) of water in a pressure cooker. Add in the dumplings, close the pressure cooker. Bring to one whistle, turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes.
- Cool the pressure cooker carefully in a sink with running water. Open the pan and remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon. Place to one side.
- Prepare the sauce: Bring the milk to the boil in a pan and simmer gently until the volume has reduced by at least one half. Stir from time to time to stop it sticking on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the sugar, cardamom powder, nuts and saffron. Allow to cool.
- Arrange the dumplings in a bowl and pour on the sauce. Chill in the ‘fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Titli's Tips
A delicious dessert – serve about 2 dumplings per person in a bowl and sprinkle with a few nuts. You can also add Rose Water or Kewra into the sauce if you wish to give a slightly different flavour.
If you are making a large number of dumplings, you can re-use the sugar water.
