Paneer Kheer Recipe - Paneer Payasam Recipe - Chena Kheer Recipe

Last Updated on October 23, 2021

This has become one of my favorite desert. Not only it is easy to make, but it taste really really delicious and cools out body instantly. It is best served chilled, perfect desert for this summer..

This kheer can be made on any occasions to make it special. Instead of making your own chenna, you can use store bought paneer as well. If using that, crumble it and soak it in warm water before using.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
