Now, the grated coconut is taken and mixed with sufficient sugar to taste and cooked under low flame for about 15 minutes. The fried coconut-sugar mixture is allowed to cool. The saffron is dissolved in minimum quantity of milk and is then added to the coconut mixture along with cardamom powder for flavor. The contents are thoroughly mixed. The coconut mixture is taken in small quantity and spread or flattened over the palm and the prepared paneer ball is placed in the centre and the coconut mixture is covered over the entire surface of the panneer to give the shape like a ball.
