Cottage Cheese Cake

sooooo easy, just mix it & steam it & it is quite healthy too.

1...home made cottage cheese (paneer) made out of 1 litre of standard milk.
Just add juice of half lemon to the boiled hot milk (if the milk has not split, put little more lemon juice) & keep it covered for 5 minutes .Then strain the split milk through a cheese cloth & hang the bundle for half an hour.
You can also use the ready made paneer , the soft variety.

2...fresh cream-----------1 cup
3...ground sugar----------1 cup
4...shredded lemon rind--1tbsp
5...ground milk biscuit----250 gm.
(put biscuits in a paper bag & crush them with a rolling pin, or use your dry grinder).
6...drinking chocolate powder or coco powder ---4 tbsp
7...cherries or nuts & raisins or fresh cream or chocolate sauce for decoration


Mix nicely 1,2,3 &4 with a hand mixer or with a fork till smooth.
Put a steamer or big vessel on fire with 2 cups of water.
In a steamer pan or in a steel tiffin box put half of the crushed biscuits first.
On top of that put paneer ,sugar & cream mixture & level it.
Sprinkle coco or chocolate powder & rest of the crushed biscuit on top & cover the box & put in the steamer or vessel.
Steam it for 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
Open the box & let the cheese cake cool down in the fridge ,not freezer.
Decorate the cake as you want & serve cold.
