Ingredients for Kheer Mohan
Ingredients
1 liter of full-fat milk
2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar (to curdle the milk)
1 cup of sugar
4 cups of water
A pinch of cardamom powder
Saffron strands for garnishing
Pistachios or almonds for garnishing
Step-by-Step Recipe
Recipe
- Begin by boiling the milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, add the lemon juice or vinegar, stirring gently until the milk fully curdles.
- After turning off the heat, allow it to sit for a few minutes. Strain the curdled milk using a muslin cloth to separate the chenna (paneer).
- Rinse the chenna with cold water to eliminate any lemon juice flavor. Tie it up and hang it for about an hour to drain excess water.
- Gently knead the chenna until it becomes smooth. Form small, equal-sized balls, ensuring there are no cracks.
- In a large pot, dissolve the sugar in water and bring it to a boil. Add cardamom powder for added flavor.
- Carefully place the chenna balls into the boiling syrup. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing them to double in size.
- Once cooled, garnish the Kheer Mohan with saffron and chopped pistachios or almonds, and serve chilled.
