Notes
You can even add 5-6 tbsp powdered sugar and  1/4 cup milk  and skip adding condensed milk .
The original recipe calls for 3/4 cup but this was perfect for me.
You can even keep it simple and white in colour,in that case avoid adding saffron.
If using store brought frozen paneer,immerse it in hot water for 15 minutes or till it softens .
If using sugar you can grind the sugar and milk along with the crumbled paneer .
You can decorate it by making a coloured dot using food colour.
