Basically this is a big rescue recipe who are not having any access to fresh khoya or paneer like in India.
It is Makar Sankranti today and I was missing terribly the days when I used to make khoya til ke laddus on this auspicious day.
So with a little twist to mali laddu recipe I made these very easy to make Til malai ke laddus. They are highly addictive so I made them in a big batch as being quite nutritious I can pack one laddu in kiddos lunch boxes too.
Ingredients ~
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup white til (seasame seeds)
6 Tbsp desi ghee(clarified butter oil)
4 Cups of frozen paneer(cottage cheese unsalted)
(Thawed well and softened)
(I took Kohinoot brand)
1 Tin condesend milk
1/2 Cup full fat milk at room temperature
3-4 Tbsps of green cardamom powder
2 Tbsps of Kevra essence
1 Tsp saffron mixed with water

5- Take a big non sticky pan and heat 6 tbsps of desi ghee(clarified butter).
6- Warm it little till melted and pour in all batter from the mixi pot.
7- Now with a silicon spatula start stirring it continuosly on the lowest flame.
8- Initially it may look titing job but just after 3-4 minutes continuos stirring it will start leaving the corner.
9- The moment it becomes like you are flapping and it is not changing the shape trun the heat off.
