Rasmalai kaise banaye (method)
- For the Rasmalai balls, bring the milk to a boil in a heavy bottomed pan. Once it comes to a boil, add lemon juice and stir until the milk curdles.
- Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth and rinse with cold water to remove the lemony taste.
- Hang the cloth for 30 minutes to drain all the water. Transfer the chenna to a plate and knead it well until it is smooth and free from lumps.
- Add the baking powder and knead the chenna for a few more minutes until it becomes smooth.
- Divide the chenna into small balls and flatten them slightly.
- In a separate pan, combine the sugar, water, crushed cardamom pods, and saffron strands. Bring it to a boil.
- Gently slide the flattened balls into the boiling syrup and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat. The balls will double in size, so use a larger pan.
- Turn off the heat and let the balls cool completely in the syrup.
- For the Rabri, bring the milk to a boil in a heavy bottomed pan and stir continuously until it thickens and reduces to half its original quantity.
- Add sugar, crushed cardamom pods, and saffron strands. Stir well and continue to cook for a few more minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Once the Rasmalai balls are cooled, gently press them to remove the excess syrup and place them in a serving dish.
- Pour the cooled rabri over the Rasmalai balls and garnish with crushed nuts if desired.
Your delicious Rasmalai is ready! Chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Enjoy!
