Instant No Cook Malai Ladoo

 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (50 gm) Malai / cream
  
• 1 cup (122 gm) Fresh Paneer crumbled or grated
• 1/2 cup (100 gm) Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1/2 cup (91 gm) Milk Powder
• 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
• Kesar strands or chopped nuts for garnishing
•  

InstructionsIn a blender, combine the malai,condensed milk, paneer, milk powder, and cardamom powder. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are included. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for approximately 15-20 minutes. This chilling step will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape. After chilling, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Grease your hands with ghee, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round ladoos. Arrange the shaped ladoos on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish each ladoo with saffron strands or your choice of chopped nuts for added flavor and presentation. Serve the No Cook Malai Ladoo immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy this delightful treat at festivals or whenever you're craving something sweet! 

Notes

For variations, consider adding a touch of flavor with saffron or rose water during blending.

 Fresh paneer and malai will yield the best flavor and texture. If possible, make your own paneer at home for optimal results. If using store-bought paneer then soak it in hot water for a couple of minutes.

Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator long enough to firm up; this makes shaping the ladoos much easier.

Experiment with different toppings, like crushed nuts or rose petals

2. Pour 1/2 cup milk. When milk becomes warm add 1 cup milk powder.

3. Lower the flame, mix well to a have a smooth texture.

4. Keep stirring constantly till the mixture becomes thick on a medium flame.

5. Once it gets thicker and sticky, add 1 tsp ghee.

6. Keep stirring continuously till it becomes a mass and leaves the sides of the pan. While stirring, make sure you collect from the edges what gets stuck to the mass, to have an even texture.

7. Transfer the mawa to a bowl, to cool down.

8. When it is slightly warm, add 1/2 tsp of cardamom pdr, mix well. Once cool, add 4-5 tbsp of powdered sugar ( never add sugar when it is warm).

9. Knead the dough well, check for sweetness, add more sugar is needed, divide into equal size balls.

10. Flatten the ball or make a depression in the centre to add sliced pista. Store in an air-tight container, it will stay good outside for a day and in the fridge upto a month.

If you add cocoa/ chocolate pdr. to half, and knead well, you get chocolate pedas !
