Ingredients 

Rasmalai Ingredients

  • 1 liter Milk for paneer
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 cup Sugar for syrup
  • 4 cups Water for syrup
  • 1 liter Milk for rabri
  • ½ cup Sugar for rabri
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 10-12 Saffron strands
  • 2 tablespoon Chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions 

  1. Boil 1 liter of milk in a saucepan. Once it boils, add lemon juice to curdle the milk. Strain the curdled milk and wash the paneer under cold water. Knead the paneer until smooth.
  2. Make small balls from the paneer and flatten them slightly. In another saucepan, boil 4 cups of water with 1 cup of sugar to make syrup. Add the paneer balls to the boiling syrup and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. In another saucepan, boil 1 liter of milk for rabri. Add ½ cup of sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands. Cook until the milk reduces to half.
  4. Once the paneer balls are cooked, gently squeeze them to remove excess syrup and add them to the rabri. Let them soak for at least 2 hours.
  5. Garnish with chopped nuts before serving.
