Ingredients
- •200 g fresh paneer, kneaded smooth
- •1 tsp cornflour
- •2 cups milk, for the rabri
- •3 tbsp skimmed milk powder
- •2 tbsp jaggery powder or sweetener to taste

- •1 tbsp pistachios, slivered
- •For poaching: 2 cups water with 1 tbsp jaggery
Method
- 1.Knead the paneer with the cornflour for a full 5 minutes, until there is no grain left and it feels like dough.
- 2.Shape into 8 small flat discs with no cracks at the edges.
- 3.Simmer the poaching water, slide the discs in, cover and cook 12 minutes. They will almost double.
- 4.Meanwhile reduce the milk with the milk powder, saffron and cardamom until it coats a spoon. Sweeten off the heat.
- 5.Squeeze the poached discs very gently and slip them into the warm rabri. Chill 2 hours and finish with pistachios.
Coach’s note
Knead the paneer longer than feels necessary. Any grain left in it becomes a crack during poaching, and a cracked disc disintegrates in the water.
