Ingredients Serving: 6

  1. 3 liter full fat milk
  2. 1 lemon
  3. 200 gms lotus seeds
  4. 1 tbsp chopped pistachios
  5. A few Saffron threads
  6. ½ tsp green Cardamom powder
  7. 50 gms grated Paneer
  8. 2 cup sugar
  9. 2 tbsp of milkmaid

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 liters of milk to a boil. Cool gradually, stirring to avoid sticking to the bottom. Turn off the gas. Squeeze the lemon juice slowly into it and stir. After a while you will notice the milk will curdle and the cheese will float.
  2. Strain the split milk mixture in a muslin cloth, pressing till all the whey is drained. Pour some cold water over it to cool it down and the lemony smell to go away.
  3. In a nonstick pan dry roast the lotus seeds to make it slightly brown and keep aside.
  4. Once the chena or cottage cheese is completely dry, then transfer it to a kitchen platform and start to knead it in upward direction with the back of your palm. You need to knead it for minimum 5 to 7 minutes till you find it smooth enough.
  5. Add a pinch of green cardamom powder and knead it for a minute.
  6. Divide into twenty to twenty-five portions and make small roundels taking care that there are no cracks.
  7. Now take one lotus seed and press it into this ball and keep rolling between your both palms so that it becomes round and smooth just like the size of grapes.
  8. Make the sugar syrup with 2 cups sugar and 6 cups water. Boil till sugar dissolves. Add a tbsp of milk to it to clarify the syrup. Take 1 cup out and keep aside.
  9. Add the chena balls into boiling sugar syrup and let it simmer for 15 minutes. After some time you will notice all the roundels float on the top and has doubled in size, then cook for another 5 minutes and transfer into a bowl and simmer.
  10. While the Chena balls are simmering, put the remaining 1 liter milk along with a tsp cardamom in a heavy bottomed pan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  11. Reduce the heat and simmer till milk reduces to 1/2 of its volume. Now add the milkmaid and the grated paneer to it and boil further for 5-6 minutes. Lastly add the chena balls or angoor to this and let it simmer for 1 to 2 more minutes.
  12. Serve chilled, garnished with rest of the roasted lotus seeds, pistachios and saffron threads.
