Sondesh

Ingredients

• 6 cups Full cream milk
• 1 tablespoon Vinegar
• 0.5 cup Jaggery (Can substitute with 1/2 cup of sugar)
• 0.25 teaspoon Rose water
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder

Instructions

1. 1Bring the full cream milk to a boil. Once boiled, remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, stirring gently to curdle the milk.
2. 2Drain the curdled milk using a cloth and rinse with cold water to ensure the paneer remains soft and removes any vinegar flavor.
3. 3Squeeze the cloth to remove excess water and place it on a wooden platform. Place a heavy object on the cloth for 10 minutes to expedite water removal.
4. 4After removing excess water, take out the paneer and mash it with your hands until it becomes soft and shiny.
5. 5Heat a pan and add the mashed paneer and jaggery. Cook on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring continuously.
6. 6Add cardamom powder and rose water to the mixture. Mix well and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
7. 7Shape the mixture as desired and garnish with saffron or dry fruits.
