📝 Ingredients:
For the Rasgullas:
- 1 liter full-fat milk 🥛
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice 🍋
- 1 cup sugar 🧂
- 4 cups water 💧
For the Saffron Milk:
- 500 ml full-fat milk 🥛
- 1/2 cup sugar 🧂
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder 🌿
- A pinch of saffron threads 🌼
- 10-12 almonds and pistachios, sliced 🥜
🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rasgullas:
- Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and add lemon juice. Stir until the milk curdles and separates into chenna (paneer) and whey.
- Strain the chenna using a muslin cloth and rinse it under cold water to remove the lemon flavor. Squeeze out the excess water gently.
- Knead the chenna until smooth and make small balls (about the size of a marble) from the dough.
- In another pan, boil water and sugar to make the sugar syrup. Add the chenna balls to the syrup and cook for 10-15 minutes until they double in size. Set aside to cool.
2. Make the Saffron Milk:
- Boil the milk in a saucepan. Add sugar, saffron, and cardamom powder. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Let the milk simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally.
3. Assemble the Rasmalai:
- Gently squeeze the cooled rasgullas to remove excess sugar syrup.
- Place the rasgullas in a serving dish and pour the warm saffron milk over them.
- Garnish with sliced almonds and pistachios.
4. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the rasmalai for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful dessert! 🍮✨
