Steps

45 minutes

1

In a non-stick pan, add the red dragon fruit puree and cook it on medium flame until it thickens and most of the moisture evaporates.
2

Stir in crumbled paneer, milk powder and sweetener of your choice. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until they blend together smoothly.
3

Add malai, milk, and ghee. Continue cooking while stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
4

Keep cooking until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a soft dough-like mass.
Add cardamom powder and mix well. Turn off the heat.
5

Transfer the mixture to a greased and lined mould or tray. Spread it evenly and smooth the top.
6

Allow it to cool completely. Garnish with silver varakh or chopped pistachios.
Once set, cut into squares or diamonds and serve this vibrant sweet chilled or at room temperature.
