Break the vermicelli with fingers in a large bowl and add butter to it.
Reserve some of it to roast the nuts later and greasing the baking tray.Now grease a baking tray with butter, always grease upward (I used silicon mold as it is easy to demold).
Here you can use silicone cups as well where you can take out individual servings.Now place the vermicelli in the baking tray, press well with fingers, making around 1 inch high layer at the bottom.Preheat the oven on 200 degrees celsius.For Filling:Heat a deep sauce pan over low heat and pour milk into it.Add grated paneer to it.Now mix corn flour, custard powder & maida in some cold water.
Mix well till so that there are no lumps in the mixture.Now pour the mixture in the saucepan with boiling milk and continue boiling with constant stirring with a wooden spatula.Now add sugar to it, and continue stirring.
Add Almond extract & Kewra, stirring constantly till it gets a thick creamy textureNow add condensed milk, cardamom powder and switch off heat.
Let it cool for some time.Assembling:For syrup, mix all the ingredients mentioned for syrup together in a saucepan & boil for 5-7 minutes or till thickened considerably, and switch off.Also in a small pan, heat butter and roast the chopped nuts till fragrant, on low heat such that the nuts aren't burnt.Now pour the paneer mixture over the set vermicelli.
Top the remaining vermicelli over the paneer mixture lightly, don’t press the vermicelli too much.Now bake for 45-50 minutes or till the the top layer of vermicelli becomes golden.
Take care not to burn the vermicelli.
Keep checking after 20 minutes in oven, since every oven has a different heating temperature.After it gets baked, take out the tray & let it rest for 5 mins then de-mold the cake cautiously, running a knife along the edges.Garnish with the roasted nuts.
Reserve half of them for later.Now pour the prepared thickened honey syrup.Garnish with the remaining roasted nuts.Serve Vermicelli Kunafa Recipe With Paneer & Cheese Cream Filling as a festive snack when your relatives and guest visit you during this festive season.
