Paneer Jilebi

Mmmmm Yummyyy!!! Paneer Jilebi....
I learnt it from a Telivision show... I found it interesting and tried it out... You can prepare it whenever you feel like eating jilebi.... Who ever likes paneer and wants to have paneer as a sweet can definetly try this recipe.

Ingredients:

Paneer   - 200gms
Maida    - 4 tsp
salt       -  a pinch
Sugar    -  1 and 1/2 cup
Water   -  2 cups
Cardamom  -  1

Grate the panner and take it in a bowl. Add maida, salt to it and mix evenly and mould it into dough. Keep the mix aside for half an hour.

 






In the meanwhile prepare the Sugar Syrup.
In a bowl, add water and sugar and let it boil for 15 mins. This syrup should be of medium thickness.
Once the syrup is ready add Candamom powder to it and mix well.



 
Take small portions of paneer mix and mould it into a small Jilebi shape. Deep fry them and put it in the Sugar Syrup.  Soak the Jilebi's in the syrup for 15-20 mins. Now you can take out the Jilebi's from the sugar syrup and serve it.
