Utensil and Tools
- Philips Induction Cook Top
- Silicon Spatula
- Prestige Omega Deluxe Granite Kadhai
- Vinod Platinum Triply Stainless Steel Tope
Ingredients
- 1 Litre Cow Milk
- 6 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- ½ Tsp Vanilla Essence
- ¼ Cup Dark Chocolates
- ¼ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 2-3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Take a heavy-bottomed pan, pour 1litre milk and bring it to a boil. Turn off the flame.
- Add lemon juice in small portions. Stop adding lemon juice to the milk once the milk starts curdling.
- Now strain this curdled milk through a muslin cloth and pour some cold water over it. Make sure the chenna remains soft and the flavour of lemon is gone completely. Hold the cloth tight and squeeze out the water. Hang it for 30 minutes.
- Now knead the chenna with your palm for 5-7 minutes and ensure a smooth texture. Add brown sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla essence and mix well. You can use cane sugar or regular sugar instead of brown sugar and increase or decrease the amount of sugar according to your taste.
- Transfer this mixture to a pan and add the dark chocolate. Cook on low flame for about 8-10 minutes or till the mixture is cooked well and leaves the pan's sides. Don’t overcook it; otherwise, the paneer will become crumbly and lose all its moisture. Remove from the flame and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Now take some mixture and stuff some chocolate chips in the centre. Roll it between your palms, prepare small balls, and then flatten them lightly.
- Garnish it with chocolate chips or colorful sugar balls. Refrigerate for 20 minutes and serve.
