Notes
- Use homemade paneer instead of using store bought paneer.
- This recipe does not require any extra sugar as the condensed milk contains sweetness. It makes the laddu more rich and creamy.
- Additionally, you can add your favourite nuts to elevate its flavor and garnish with rose petals and saffron strands, but here I have used kewra water (an extract distilled from the flower of the Pandanus plant) and cardamom.
- Finally, these laddus can be consumed within a week, you can store them at room temperature.
