Do try them out and let me know how it turned out for you..Thanks to Jay of http://tastyappetite.blogspot.co.uk/ who is my inspiration to make these lovely milk sweets at home:)

You Need:

• Home Made Paneer or Store Bought Indian Cottage cheese-1 Cup
• Click here for recipe Indian Home Made Cottage Cheese or Paneer
• Milk Powder – 2 cups
• Sugar – 1 cup
• Cardamom powder – 1 tbp 
• Milk – 1 cup
• Butter or Ghee – 1/2 cup
• Any dry nuts of your choice for garnishing

How I Made:

• Mash the paneer into grated form and keep it aside.
• Heat butter or ghee in a heavy bottomed pan and add milk to it.
• Add milk powder to it and mix well for few seconds.
• Add the mashed paneer and cook it on low flame by taking care not to let it stick to the pan.
• Cook the mixture on low flame until it reaches a little thicker consistency.After few minutes the mixture will start leaving the sides of the pan.then switch off the stove and allow it cool down.
• When the mixture is little warm add the sugar else it melts and make the mixture runny.Pop in cardamom powder and knead it well to form a dough consistency.
• If you feel the mixture is too loose to form patties,add some milk powder and make it thick.
• Then make smooth balls out of the mixture and slightly press with your fore finger in the middle..Pinch in a almond in the center and repeat the same for the whole batch…Keep them aside for 15 minutes and your yummy milk pedas will be ready to enjoy…They were lip smacking 🙂
