Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Paneer Thandai Mousse
- For a smoother mousse, use a high-quality blender to blend the paneer until completely smooth and creamy.
- Ensure the thandai syrup is of good quality. The flavor of the syrup will significantly impact the overall taste of the mousse.
- If your agar-agar doesn't thicken sufficiently, you can add a tiny bit more agar-agar powder while stirring the mixture on low heat.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using edible silver leaf or gold leaf as a garnish.
