Paneer Kalakand Modak

Ingredients

500 grams paneer (cottage cheese) crumbled

Half a tin of condensed milk, I used Amul mithai mate

1 tablespoon milk cream (I used Amul)

1 cup almond flour or MTR almond flour powder which ever is available

1 tablespoon roohafza/rose essence/chocolate powder

4-5 crushed cardamom, remove the skin

2 tsp ghee

Method

Step 1

In a bowl crumble the paneer and keep aside.

Mix the condensed milk and rose essence/roohafza

In a thick bottomed pan pour ghee and cook paneer in very low flame for 3 minutes, slowly add small quantities of condensed milk and stir.

Add almond flour and further add small quantities of condensed milk. Gently stir. 

As you do it you will notice the entire mixture is slowly thickening. 

When the consistency is of shaping the kozhakattai off the stove. Cool it completely and use a mould to shape the kozhakattai.

Tips

If you are using MTR badam powder and roohafza, please remember both have already added sugar in them. 

I have used less quantity of condensed milk as I am using fresh paneer and milk cream for moisture.
