Paneer Kheer or Payasam is a bengali sweet dish called as chenna kheer. Paneer kheer is the scrumptious Indian pudding prepared with paneer and milk as the main ingredients. First when I heard this recipe from my MIL's sister who is in Kolkata, i was not sure how it will taste. But when I made it, it was so awesome and my kids love it so much. We all know most of the kids love Paneer dishes. But we usually make lots of gravies or tikka using Paneer. This is one wonderful Kheer we could make with Paneer. We can serve this Paneer Kheer hot. But I prefer Cold serving, we can just refrigerate the kheer and serve cold!
