    Ingredients

    1 1/2 litre full cream milk
    3 cup water

    1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 cup sugar

 

For Dough

    1 tablespoon all purpose flour
    1 pinch salt

    1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For The Main Dish

    2 cup ghee

How to make Chanar Jilipi:

    Step 1

Put a deep-bottomed pan on medium flame and add milk in it and bring it to a boil. While the milk is boiling, add lemon juice in it.

    Step 2

Once the milk curdles up, drain the content through a clean muslin cloth.

    Step 3

Tie the cloth and hang it for 2 hours so that the water completely drains away.

    Step 4

Transfer the cottage cheese to your desired kneading space.

    Step 5

Add all purpose flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt to the cottage cheese mixture.

    Step 6

Knead it well until the mixture turns into a smooth dough. Refrigerate the mixture for about 20 minutes.

    Step 7

Take out small portions of dough, roll out long ropes out of the balls and swirl them up in the form of jalebis. This will make around 8 to 10 jalebis.

    Step 8

Now put a kadhai on medium flame, add ghee and heat. Once the ghee is sufficiently hot, deep fry these prepared jalebis in batches.

    Step 9

In the meantime, prepare the sugar syrup. In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the sugar and water, boil it until you get the desired consistency. Remember, it should not be very thick neither very thin, a medium consistency is required.

    Step 10

Once done, switch off the flame, soak the fried paneer jalebis in sugar syrup for about two to three hours. Enjoy them hot!
