My Take:

• You can add saffron strands or food color to make it colorful. 

Tips to Make Malai Ladoos:

• Let evaporate all the water from the paneer and then add other ingredients.

The shelf life of Malai Ladoos:

• Malai Modaks stays good for 8-9 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
