RECIPE:

Preparation Time: 15 mins

Cooking Time: 5 mins

Serves: 5 persons

INGREDIENTS: [1 cup=250 ml]

--------------------------------------------

Kamala Orange - 1 big + 1 small

Milk - 500 ml

Lemon - 1(small size)

Fresh cream - 120 ml

Thick curd - 100 gm

Powdered Sugar - 3/4 cup

Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp

Crushed almonds(optional) - for garnish

METHOD:

----------------

1. Boil the milk very well. Add the squeezed lemon juice and the milk starts to curdle immediately. After a few seconds, switch off the stove, and pour the curdled milk over a cotton cloth placed above a strainer. Wash the paneer in tap water and squeeze the cloth well. Do this 2-3 times to remove the sour taste, and your fresh paneer is ready.

2. In a juicer, place the big orange and blend without water to get the extracted juice. If you are using blender, just blend the oranges for a few seconds without water and squeeze well.

3. Now in a blender, add the fresh cream, thick curd, paneer, and grind well. Add the orange juice, powdered sugar and grind very well to get a very smooth puree. Pour this to a vessel.

5. Pour the mix to a container and freeze for 6-12 hrs. Finally scoop in a bowl and garnish with crushed almonds. That's it!!

NOTE:

-----------

1. If you have orange essence, use it instead of vanilla essence.

2. You can also use other varieties of orange.

3. If needed, use more orange pulp at step 4.
4. I have used storebought curd here. If you are using homemade curd, make sure it is not watery.
