How To Make Chanar Payesh/ Paneer Kheer/ Indian Cottage Cheese Pudding
Today I will share how to make Chanar Payesh/ Paneer Kheer/ Indian Cottage Cheese Pudding. Chanar payesh is a famous Bengali Sweet Dish, available in almost all the sweet stalls in west Bengal. In chanar payesh, chena/chana (Indian cottage cheese or paneer) is cooked in milk with sugar and chopped nuts. You can prepare it in two ways. Either you prepare chhena/chana and then prepare the dish or you can make it with paneer( homemade or from a local market); in both cases, the taste is almost the same
