PANEER BALLS/BURFI/PEDA is my 100th post. I'm very happy to share it with you all.  I thought of posting my 100th recipe must be sweet, simple and rich dish. I decided this recipe as my 100th post. Hope you all will enjoy my 100th post. Let me come to the into of paneer burfi/balls/peda. Before that I would like to say sorry for the delayed post due to my health issue.

I don't want to give intro about paneer. You all know very well about it. Let me tell you the differences between paneer peda, paneer balls and paneer burfi. 

Paneer Peda - It should be very soft to eat.

Paneer Burfi - It should be less softer than pedas.

Paneer Balls - While making balls, it gets tighten. So, it should be bit harder than the burfi. It is also soft dish.

Hey please forgive me for not posting pictures of paneer peda. I made only 2 pedas. My little one had taken both before I took pictures. I'll post it in future :)
