Paneer Kheer

 

If you have paneer in hand, this delicious kheer can be made in a jiffy. Store bought paneer works very well for this recepi as much as homemade. I have a block of homemade paneer i prepared a day ago and put it together to dish out this delectable kheer during Vinayagar chahurthi as prasadham for Lord Ganesha.


I'm a person who seasoned all my desserts or sweet well. Trust me, a pinch of salt will go a long way in dessert. It will bring out a real flavour of the dessert or sweets. Kheer tend to get thickened while cooling thus, make sure you have enough liquid or milk for a right consistency to avoid a mass or clumpy kheer.

Well sweetened,rich and creamy this paneer kheer is sinfully delicious to serve for speacial occasion such as weddings,birthday celebration or as neiveidhyam for the Almighty.  Garnish with rose petals or safflower as feast for eyes.
