Sasmita Chenna kheer is an easy dessert with just 3 simple ingredients (milk, chenna, some dry fruits) available at home. It is so simple, yet a rich sweet to serve in any special / festive occasions. Here I have tried with home made chenna, but it can be done with paneer too. In case of paneer, just crumble / grate the paneer very well. Kheer can serve hot, warm or chilled. But chilled kheer always taste a great.
So here is my version of making chenna kheer / paneer kheer / paneer payasam.

Method :
- Take milk in a wide bottomed pan and allow the milk to a gentle boil on a low-medium flame.
- Simmer the milk for about 5-6 minutes, keep stirring the milk at intervals.
- Then add sugar, stir and continue to cook further for 5 minutes.
- Add chopped dry fruits, cardamom powder and saffron. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Then mix chenna / crumbled paneer. Simmer for 2 minutes on a low flame till the chenna gets well cooked.
- Serve chenna kheer hot, warm or chilled just by garnishing with few saffron strands / chopped dry fruits !
Notes :
- Always use fresh milk while making chenna kheer.
- Dry fruits depends upon choice.
- If using fresh paneer, then just crumble it well. If using refrigerated paneer, then grate it well.
- If the paneer appears dry, then just soak in warm water and after that crumble / grate.
