An exciting variation for a quick and easy to make dessert, the gooey texture in the center from the paneer and the crunchy coating of the pistachio made these rolls even more palatable... only one suggestion- please use fresh paneer to experience the recipe to its best .
Fab dessert. Loved the paneer rolls with pistachios and cardamom.
