First separate paneer from the curdled milk using a muslin cloth and squeeze out the excess water. Next, blend the paneer with sugar, milk powder, cardamom powder, and a little water to form a smooth paste, then cook it in ghee until it thickens like mava. Finally, mix in separately roasted cashews, almonds, and desiccated coconut, let the mixture cool, and shape it into round laddoos.
The recipe requires 1 litre of curdled milk, ½ cup sugar, ½ cup milk powder, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, 1 tablespoon ghee, 150–200 grams of chopped cashews and almonds, 2–3 tablespoons of desiccated coconut, and pistachios and almonds for garnishing.
No, you should only use milk that has curdled normally and does not possess any unusual odors or signs of being spoiled. If the milk has gone bad or smells foul, it must not be used for making sweets.
