Kheer Kadam Ingredients: Homemade Paneer 2 litres of milk Khoya 200 gms Sugar 3 cups Vanilla or any other essence (as per preference) 1 teaspoon <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/oct/sweat.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 546px;" /> To make Paneer &gt;&gt;u00a0Boil the milk and while boiling put half cup of diluted white vinegar, till the water turns light green. Strain the paneer over a muslin cloth, wash it well under cold water and hang the strained paneer with the cloth for two hours. &gt;&gt;u00a0Take half of the paneer, knead well, mix one teaspoon of all-purpose flour and one teaspoon of semolina flour. Mix both together. Divide the dough into tiny balls and cook them in the sugar syrup on a high flame for 15 minutes. From time to time, sprinkle water on to the boiling rasgullas, so that the syrup does not thicken. The small balls will expand and float in the syrup while boiling. &gt;&gt;u00a0Then lower the flame and boil for another 15 minutes. Let it rest till it cools. So you get tiny rasgullas which are a little harder than the rasgullas you would normally get in any sweet shop. &gt;&gt; With the rest of the paneer, mix the khoya and knead well along with the essence. Cook the mixture over low flame until it leaves the sides of the vessel. Cool the mix. &gt;&gt;u00a0Take each of the tiny rasgullas and cover it totally with the paneer khoya mix. So you have a ball, with a soft centre and a coating of paneer khoya mix on the outside. &gt;&gt;u00a0Place them on a plate and decorate with grated khoya on top. Recipe courtesy: Shikha Mitra Patishapta for the filling: Grated Coconut 1 cup Jaggery 1 cup / Sugar 1 cup Cardamom powder 1/4 teaspoon Khoya: 2 cups For the crepes: All-purpose flour: 1 cup Semolina 1/2 cup Rice flour : 1/2 cup Milk 1 cup Sunflower oil for frying <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/oct/patishapta1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 323px;" /> For the filling &gt;&gt;u00a0In a wok heat the jaggery, as it starts melting add the coconut. Put in the cardamom powder and stir till the coconut mixes well with the jaggery. &gt;&gt;u00a0Cook till the coconut feels sticky. Take it away from the flame and keep it aside. For the crepes &gt;&gt;u00a0Add all the dry ingredients together and mix well. Pour the milk while constantly stirring to avoid lump formation. The batter should be smooth and freely flowing (add excess milk if required). &gt;&gt;u00a0Heat a frying pan (preferably non-stick) and pour 1 tablespoon of oil, spread it with a paper towel. &gt;&gt;u00a0Take a small bowl of batter and spread it evenly on the pan to make a round shape, do it quickly before the batter sets. &gt;&gt;u00a0Place the filling lengthwise at the centre of the crepe. Fold the crepe from both sides and wait till it turns light brown.
