*2-3 tsp. rose water
*1/2 fresh coconut
*1/3 C. sugar
*1/4 tsp. saffron strands
*1 tsp. milk

Directions

Grate paneer into a bowl, add confectioners' sugar and rose water. Mix very well to make a dough.

Shape spoonfuls of the mixture into small round balls about the size of walnuts.

Put the coconut and sugar in a saucepan and cook for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool.

Warm the saffron and milk in a small bowl over a saucepan of hot water. Rub in until the saffron dissolves. Add the saffron milk to the coconut and mix well.

Coat the paneer balls with the coconut mixture, rolling them carefully in the palms of your hands.

Arrange paneer and coconut balls on a serving plate and cover with silver foil if desired. Chill thoroughly.

To serve, cut each ball into two and decorate with chopped pistachio nuts.
