Ingredients

• Paneer - 150 grams
• Coconut flour - 2 tablespoons
• Almond flour - 2 tablespoons
• Erythritol - 4 tablespoons
• Cardamom powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Unsweetened coconut flakes - 2 tablespoons
• Rose water - 1 teaspoon
• Saffron strands - a pinch
• Pistachios - 1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, crumble the paneer and mix in the coconut flour, almond flour, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and cardamom powder until a dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten them slightly to form patties.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat a little ghee or butter over medium heat and cook the patties until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream, remaining erythritol, rose water, and saffron. Cook on low heat until warm, stirring continuously until the erythritol dissolves completely.
5. Add the cooked patties to the cream mixture, gently coating them. Allow them to soak in the cream for about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the patties from the cream and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the remaining cream over the top.
7. Garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped pistachios before serving.
