Ingredients

  • Pinch Saffron / Kesar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a heavy bottom pan add 1.5 liter milk and let it simmer till it become half in quantity.
  • In a separate pan add the remaining 1.5 liter milk and let it come to a boil.
  • Now mix lemon juice with 2 tsp water and add in the boiling milk.
  • The milk will curdle now after adding the lemon juice.
  • Now pour the curdled milk in a big strainer lined with a muslin cloth and let the whey completely drain from the paneer.
  • Now keep the strainer under running water and wash the paneer well so all the traces of lemon juice get washed else the kheer may curdle due to the lemon juice so this step should be followed well.
  • Now tie the paneer in the muslin cloth and put some weight over it to remove the excess water from the paneer
  • When the milk reduced to half then add saffron and sugar and give it a boil.
  • Then add the crumbled or grated paneer in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Now add cardamom powder and remove it from the heat.

Notes

Note-
1- can adjust sugar according to your taste preference.
2- the quantity of paneer can be  reduced or increased as per the thickness you want to have in your kheer
3- You can also use good quality  ready made paneer instead of making paneer at home ,But I always prefer home made paneer for making kheer.
