Step 1
Combine paneer and flour in a bowl, then knead until smooth and pliable, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Roll mixture into 12 balls (walnut-sized). Keep them on a plate; don't compress.
Step 3
Pour milk into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Add sugar and crushed cardamom to boiling milk, stir until sugar dissolves, ~1 minute.
Step 5
Gently slide paneer balls into simmering syrup; they will sink, then float within 2–3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat, stir in rose water, then chill in the fridge or serve warm. Top with pistachios.
