Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Condensed milk
  • 250 Paneer cottage cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • Pinch of Saffron
  • 2 teaspoon warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon chopped dry fruits as per your choice

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Soak the saffron in warm milk

Method:

  • Mash the Paneer with the palm of a hand or blend in a blender until smooth and creamy.
  • In a heavy bottom pan, over medium flame take mashed paneer and Condensed Milk.
  • Mix them well and cook over the medium flame while stirring constantly.
  • Cook this mixture for 5-10 minutes until mixture will thicken and starts leaving the sides of a pan.
  • Add cardamom powder and mix them well.
  • Switch off the flame, remove it from flame.
  • Now transfer this mixture into a plate or bowl and allow it to cool down.
  • Shape into Ladoos and garnish with saffron water, saffron and pistachios on top of each laddoo and Malai Ladoos are ready.
  • Set the ladoos for 10-15 minutes. Serve malai ladoo as required.

Notes

    • You can also use food colour instead of saffron in the malai mixture too.
    • Malai ladoo stays good for 2-3 days. I prefer to store these paneer ladoos in the fridge. 
    • I did not add extra sugar, but If you want you can add powdered sugar for sweet ladoos while grinding the paneer mixture.
    • You can skip saffron and make it plain, the ladoos will be white in colour.
    • You can also use milk powder in this recipe with condensed milk and paneer to quicken the thickening process.
      I have added freshly ground cardamom powder to this recipe. If you don’t like it, feel free to omit it.
    • Flavour: I have added cardamom flavour to this ladoo. You can add other flavours, like rose water or kewra water etc.
