Chennar Payesh


By Chitti's Kitchen (Visit website)






A quick version of the classic Bengali dessert. Caught it on a TV show. It looked so easy that I tried it immediately !!!
It was fabulous!!
& then I tried to get a bit creative & tried making the strawberry chennar payesh too. That was even better. Even if I do say so myself.

Come on. Get going . Try it out just now. You are going to love it!
Here's the recipe..............


Ingredients

fresh paneer - 1/2 cup
( if you make fresh paneer from 1/2 a litre of milk, it will give you 1/2 cup of paneer. Paneer made at home freshly, using either lemon juice or curds works best. Curdle the milk & strain the paneer immediately. Do not let it get hard & rubbery. Soft fresh paneer will give the best result. )
milk - 1 litre ( 5 cups )
sugar - 1/2 cup
almonds - 6-7, blanched & sliced
pistachios - 5-6, chopped


Method

1. Bring the milk to a boil, lower the heat & simmer until it is reduced to half the original quantity.
2. Add sugar & cook until the sugar dissolves.
3. Mash the paneer in a bowl & add it to the milk. Simmer for just another 2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with nuts & serve cold.







For the strawberry chennar payesh............

After step 3. leave it to cool completely.
Then crush some fresh strawberries roughly in a blender & mix with the now cool payesh. About 4-5 of medium sized berries should be enough. Top with chopped strawberry & serve cold.

ENJOY !!!
