Rasamalai

I went to Chennai with my parents to meet my maasi and cousins in 2001 beginning .And they bought rasamalai for us and  told me its a sweet made of milk.

It tasted as of rasagulla but in different shape and instead of sugar syrup it was in milk

Lemon Juice                            -                2 tbsp

Water                                         -                1 tbsp

Syrup

Sugar                                         -               1   cup

Water                                        -                2 (1/4)cups


Milk                                            -                3 cups

Kesar Powder                         -                 a pinch

Method of Preparation

Mix the lemon juice and water

Boil the milk for about 7-8 mints in a pan and stir it occationally. When it starts boil add the mixture of lemon juice and water. Then you may find that the fat in the milk is getting separated.

Then drain the water through a white cloth and add cold water to it and squeeze the water completely and keep it aside.

Rub it with thumb and roll it if it becomes a smooth ball then that means the paneer is ready.

Rub the whole paneer in a clean surface and make small smooth balls, then flatten it slightly 

Now make the syrup by heating water with sugar in a cooker.

Wait till it boils and then put the balls in the boiling syrup. Close the cooker and when the steam comes lower the heat and cook it for 7-8 mints. Then close the gas and wait for 2-3 mints

Put the cooker under the tap and open the tap so that the cooker cools down and it can be opened.


You may find the balls double in size


Take a pan and boil the milk in medium flame and reduce it to 2 cups (will take 20 mints) by adding Sugar,cardamom and kesar


Squeeze the rasagulla gently and add it to the milk.


Boil it to 3-4 mints.


Let it be in the room temperature for 1 hr.


Then garnish it will almonds and serve it chilled.


Tip:- For best result store it in the refrigerator for 24hrs
