Paneer kheer is one of the easiest and awesome recipes which I tried in the recent months. This kheer has high milk content so I recommend this one for all the kids. Of course it is irresistable for adults. One more positive point is it can be made quickly without much effort. Being a standard South Indian, I was used to all kinds of payasam .But I'm nowhere in the world of kheers. Once when she shared her rice kheer with me , it really tasted heavenly. And when I tried it on my own, it gave exact wonderful result. And then started making all sorts of kheers with different ingredients and slight changes each time. And yupp !!! this time it is paneer and got amazed by its' rich texture and taste. Here goes the recipe.

Sparkling soft and spongy doughnuts coated with lightly powdered sugar could be a great treat on an awesome day. Though it looks heavy, it is so light to fly in the sky...(yup working on rhyming words with my kidoo) . Everyone deserve a break from a routine calorie conscious life and that sweet break could be a doughnut. These balls of cakes are so nice that they melt in the mouth very soon. Going to the recipe....

12. Dont roll it thin as the width of the dough will be the width of the donuts.
