paneer kheer recipe with step by step photos – one more quick sweet dessert recipe of kheer, that can be made for various festive occasions

i plan to add some quick and easy sweets for the upcoming festive season. the paneer kheer is one such recipe that can be made in a jiffy and will be done in less than 25 minutes. all you need is paneer and milk along with some dry fruits.

the paneer kheer has been flavored with cardamom powder, saffron and rose water. cardamom powder is a must. rose water give a beautiful rosy fragrance to the kheer. good to add it, but skip if you don’t have. saffron strands can be easily skipped if you don’t have these. you can also add your choice of dry fruits.

the recipe tastes somewhat like rasmalai with soft succulent crumbled paneer in flavored & sweetened milk. 

you can serve paneer kheer hot, warm or chilled. we prefer the kheer to be chilled In summer and hot in winters

lets start step by step paneer kheer recipe:

1. take milk in a wide bottomed pan or sauce pan and keep it on stove top on a low to medium flame.

2. allow the milk to come to a gentle boil.

3. lower the flame and simmer the milk till it thickens a bit. about 5 to 6 minutes. keep stirring the milk at intervals when its simmering. then add sugar and continue to cook further for 5 minutes.

4. stir and then add chopped dry fruits (almonds, pistachios, cashews), cardamom powder and saffron. simmer for 1 or 2 minutes.

5. add crumbled paneer. you can also grate the paneer and add. since i was using fresh chenna, i crumbled it. if adding refrigerated or frozen paneer, then you can grate it. if the paneer appears dry, then just soak it warm water and then crumble or grate.

6. simmer for 2 minutes on a low flame till the crumbled paneer gets cooked. then add rose water & stir.

7. serve paneer kheer hot, warm or chilled. the kheer can be had plain and they also taste good with pooris.while serving you can garnish the kheer with few saffron strands or chopped dry fruits.
