Recipe details: Paneer Patties In Orange Perfumed Cream Sauce (Ras Malai)

Stephen Ceideburg 2 c Water 1/4 c + 1 tablespoon sugar 1 qt Half-and-half 1 tb Grated orange zest 2 tb All-purpose flour 8 oz Paneer (see recipe) 2 tb Chopped unsalted pistachios Two 3-inch pieces gold or silver leaf (varak), optional (see note) This version of a popular Indian restaurant dessert sports a California touch - grated orange peel. You may add cardamom, saffron or rose essence if you prefer a classic Indian flavor. Combine water and 1/4 cups sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, the half-and-half and orange zest in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by one third, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, mix together flour and paneer; knead until fluffy and thoroughly mixed, Form mixture into walnut-size balls and flatten into 1/4-inch thick patties. Working in batches, poach patties in simmering sugar syrup until they are firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn gently and cook 1 minute longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer patties to a serving bowl. Pour in the cream sauce and remaining sugar syrup. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, or until well chilled, (May be made up to 4 days ahead.) Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and, decorate with gold leaf, if desired. Note: Gold and silver leaf is available at Indian markets and specially food stores.
