In your video , you mention that you used 4 oz of paneer. But when I shredded 4 oz of paneer, it’s one cup filled to the top. Or a little more. Nowhere near 1.5 cups.

July 14, 2013 at 12:10 pmHi,
Thanks for this recipe. i have prepared this dessert twice and the furst time it tasted just great and everyone loved it.
But when I made it the second time for some reason the milk remained thin and did not thicken as expected after adding corn starch. I used 2 percent fat milk. The only diff in prep I did this time was adding paneer first and then corn starch.
Can pls help me know what cud have been the reason and if this can be fixed.

February 10, 2013 at 7:33 pmgood one. i enjoyed watching it thoroughly. i love such dishes for dessert. i am going to make it soon. looked interesting, different and most imp easy.
my daughter is 3. 5 yrs old and she can watch your recipes for atleast 2 hours. one after the other. she enjoys watching, questions me regarding spices, why you used one particular spice, mom lets make it today, i know how to make it now etc etc. she is a good eater, eats anything and everything so she likes trying out your dishes. i would have been lazy to try elaborate recipes but just because she wants to try out what u cooked i have to make it and she makes sure she is with me all throughout the cooking. she wants to be a chef after watching u. thank u.
