Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine paneer and flour in a bowl, then knead until smooth and pliable, ~1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Roll mixture into 12 balls (walnut-sized). Keep them on a plate; don't compress.

  3. Step 3

    Pour milk into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add sugar and crushed cardamom to boiling milk, stir until sugar dissolves, ~1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Gently slide paneer balls into simmering syrup; they will sink, then float within 2–3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat, stir in rose water, then chill in the fridge or serve warm. Top with pistachios.
