about rasmalai

In Hindi ‘ras’ means juicy and ‘malai’ means cream, hence rasmalai translates to juicy and creamy. Rasmalai is a popular rich Indian dessert made using cheese balls soaked in sweetened condensed milk, called rabri, topped with dry fruits and flavored with saffron and cardamom. It is highly addictive because it tastes incredibly delicious.

Ever since I tasted Rasmalai at a popular hotel called Annapurna Gaurishankar here in Coimbatore, I have become a big fan of it. Homemade food is best if prepared in the right consistency. I buy rasgullas from shops and make rasmalai. Sometimes I also make homemade Rasgulla because Mitthu loves that sweet.

Rasgullas can be flattened and put as is. I have seen rasmalai in the form of balls and discs so you can make it as per your wish. I would prefer smaller balls instead of discs as it looks more attractive.

3.Take a lemon squeezer and squeeze out the excess syrup from the rasgullas. Be soft otherwise the rasgullas will break. Now put the rasgullas in milk and let it boil for 5-7 minutes on low flame. Switch off.

Cool for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least an hour. serve chilled!
