Chhanar jilipi or paneer/cottage cheese jalebi. A sweet made of cottage cheese/paneer or chhena. Taste is almost similar to gulab jamun or pantua.

Posting after a long time. Last time participated in 124th Foodiemonday bloghop on 25th December. And now bloghop time again. This week’s 133rd #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is Holi on my platter.
Sharing a delicious sweet of Bengal, chhanar jilipi.

I never forget to taste this delicacy in my Kolkata visit. But now I don’t have to wait for Kolkata visit. Tried to make it at home. And believe me its very easy.

Now coming to the recipe. You need only few ingredients and homemade fresh paneer or cottage cheese made of full cream milk to make this delicious dish.

Recipe

Milk – 4 cup

Refined flour or maida – 2 tablespoon

Semolina or suji – 2 tablespoon

Milk – 3 tablespoon

Milk powder – 2 tablespoon

Cardamom powder – 1 & 1/2 teaspoon

Saffron or kesar – few strands

Sugar – 1 cup

Water – 1/2 cup

Method

Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan. When it starts to rolling boil add 4 tablespoon curd. Stir the milk. It will be curdle. If require add 1 tablespoon curd more.

When the greenish whey or water and paneer separated, strain the paneer or cottage cheese with a maslin cloth.
Hang for an hour.

When the water strain out completely take out the paneer on a plate. I have got 1 cup cottage cheese. You can use store bought crumbled cottage cheese or malai paneer. But better to use home made fresh cottage cheese.

Soak 2 tablespoon suji or semolina and few strands of Saffron in 3 tablespoon warm milk.

For sugar syrup mix sugar, water, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder and few strands of saffron in a pan and boil on low flame for 5 – 8 minutes or until the syrup becomes 1 string consistency.

Knead the paneer and make a lump free dough.

Add milk powder, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder, maida or refined flour and soaked suji or semolina and saffron.

Knead till it becomes a smooth dough.
Make small balls out of the dough. I have made 18 small balls. You can make 15 – 16 bigger size balls.

Take a ball and make a long rope.
Now wind it like a coil.
Make all the balls like this.

Heat sufficient oil or ghee/clarified butter in a pan. Fry the jalebis on medium heat.

And dip them in the sugar syrup immediately.
Soak them in sugar syrup for 2 hours.

After 2 hours boil it again and let it soak for 1 hour more.

Garnish with chopped pistachio. Serve hot or cold. It will be yummy in both ways.

Note

You can store these jalebi in refrigerator. Microwave before serving if you like hot paneer jalebi.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
