Ingredients for Paneer chum chum Recipe

  • 1 cups Whole milk
  • As Required Paneer
  • 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 0.03 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1/4 Tbsp tbs pistachio
  • 1/4 Tbsp tbs coconut powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Cream

Directions: Paneer Chum Chum Recipe

  • STEP 1.Prepare paneer according to recipe “How to Make Paneer”. To test if sufficient water has been removed out of the paneer, take a little piece of paneer in your palm and rub with your fingers. You should be able to make a firm but smooth ball, after 15-20 seconds of rubbing.
  • STEP 2.Place the drained paneer on a dry, clean surface and knead it for 3 to 4 minutes until it rolls into smooth soft dough. If the paneer is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water.
  • STEP 3.Divide the paneer dough into 8 equal parts and roll each one into a smooth oval shaped ball.
  • STEP 4.For the syrup: In a wide saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve completely. Use a large pan as the Chum Chums will double in volume while cooking in the syrup.
  • STEP 5.Add the paneer balls to the syrup and bring it back to a boil. Then turn down the heat to medium and cover the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • STEP 6.Open the pot cover, turn the chum chums over and cook for another 15 minutes. Check to see if the chum chums appear firm but sponge-like (with little holes on the surface). Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 more minutes.
  • STEP 7.Remove the chum chums from the syrup. Serve chill!
  • STEP 8.Serving With Pistachios: Cover every Chum Chum with a few pieces of sliced pistachios
  • STEP 9.Serving with Coconut Powder: Roll the chum chums in dry coconut
  • STEP 10.Serving with Malai (cream): Boil the milk over medium heat until it reduces to ½ its volume. Stir the milk continuously so it doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pot. Add sugar, and cardamom powder. Stir for 2 minutes, and then turn off the heat. While milk is still warm pour 1 tablespoon over every Chum Chum and top with a few pieces of pistachios.
