• Boil 1ltr milk in a deep sauce pan.Add a pinch of turmeric powder to give that vibrant yellow color and other 1litr milk in a shallow non stick pan.
• when milk in a deep sauce pan boils add half a juice of lime .when it curdles switch of the stove and transfer it to a plain clean cloth.Pour some water and hang the cloth to the tap or keep some heavy weight over the cloth,to drain the water from the cheese.keep this for 30 mins.
• Now the milk in the nonstick pan needs to reduce almost 60%.or till you get the right consistency.cook over a slow  flame stirring all the time.

 

•  Once its almost  done add saffron mixed in hot milk and little turmeric to get that color.Add sugar at this stage and stir it nicely.Boil until sugar dissolves fully.Now the RAS is ready.Sprinkle some cardamom powder and keep it aside.

• Next remove the cheese from the cloth and blend it through a food processor or mixer grinder using mince meat blade to smooth it out.
• Divide the paneer or cheese  into 25 small balls. roll each balls into your hand until a smooth ball is formed.Lightly press the balls to give it to a flat shape.if you want you can make 50 mini balls too.

 

• Now put 7 cups of water and the 1 cup of sugar into the pressure cooker.Dissolve the sugar and then add flat cheese balls.close the pressure cooker lid and cook until 1 whistle. Immediately switch off the gas and wait for exactly 5mins.Then take the cooker near the tap and pour some cold water over the cooker to cool down and pressure will go fast.
• Now open the lid and remove the cheese balls gently with wide spoon one by one.
• when its cools down slowly pick one balls at a time and gently press the balls with your palm to squeeze out the sugar water from the balls.
• when all the cheese balls are done.Slowly add these flat balls to the RAS mix it gently.
