Follow step-by-step instructions

Bring 1 liter of milk to a boil and add lemon juice to curdle it. Strain the curdled milk using a cheesecloth to obtain fresh paneer. Knead the paneer until smooth and form small, flat dumplings.
For the syrup, bring 4 cups of milk and sugar to a boil. Simmer until the milk reduces slightly. Stir in cardamom powder and saffron strands.
Add the paneer dumplings gently into the warm syrup and let them soak for 10 minutes.
Chill before serving.
