Notes
If you do not have fresh Paneer, you can make it just before making ladoos. Click here for the Homemade Paneer Recipe.It take just 15-20 minutes to make fresh paneer. Drain the water properly before making ladoos.
I use desi Khand to make these Ladoos, you can use any fine sugar(castor sugar) or powdered sugar.
Cool the mixture completely before adding sugar else the mixture will be sticky and you won't be able to shape ladoo.
