Note

  • My ladoos were slightly yellow in shade as I used saffron threads.Skip it to get white colored ladoos.
  • Use  2 drops of kewra essence to get nice flavor.
  • Instead of store bought paneer,u can use homemade paneer too.Homemade chenna makes even more soft ladoo.
  • If using homemade chenna,knead the chena well and then grind with condensed milk.
  • U can use store bought or homemade condensed milk.U can add more condensed milk based on your taste buds.
  • After grinding the mixture,check for taste and add more condensed milk if necessary.
  • Do not keep the dough in flame for long time,ladoo may turn hard.Also remove the dough only after it becomes non-sticky.U can check it by taking a small piece and make a ball.If u are able to shape it well,remove in a plate.
