When the water comes to a boil, and you see bubbles in the water, gently add the rasmalai balls/ dumplings to the syrup. Make about 15-18 small oval or round balls and place immediately in boiling milk. Keep it boiling on full flame for 5-10mins until it becomes 3-4 times larger than the original size. Dip and rotate the balls in full/high boiling milk with the help of a flat spoon. Once the milk comes to a boil, lower the flame and continue to stir the milk at regular intervals. After 10 minutes add sugar and mix. You can try Gajar ka Halwa, Halwa Puri, Kheer, Besan Barfi, or Besan Ladoos if you need more ideas for Pakistani sweet recipes.

Rasmalai is the classic Indian dessert/sweet favoured throughout India. It is a milk based dessertconsisting of dumplings in a sweet milk syrup. That's a nice rasmalai recipe in Urdu and English. Hopefully, it was easy for you to make a rasmalai with step by step pictures. Let's share the sweetness with others.A few notes: I prefer to use full-fat/ whole milk powder. Though you can use semi-skimmed milk powder, it makes the dough a bit gritty and not smooth. And it yields lighter Rasmalai in taste and texture (obviously). Also, when you boil them, you have to ensure the milk temperature is not too hot, or the inside of your Rasmalai will be hard and brown. How to make Rasmalai

The first item you need to make this Rasmalai is milk powder. Then, you will need eggs, baking powder, whole milk, and sugar. You can make good, tasty Rasmalai with these five ingredients.

Once the cooking is finished, switch the heat off and leave the Rasmalai in the pot with the lid on to rest for at least 10 minutes. However, suppose you want your Rasmalai to have a unique flavor and taste close to the original. In that case, you will want to get cardamom pods, a pinch of salt, a handful of nuts (preferably pistachios and/ or almonds), and a pinch of saffrons. Point No. 3: Even though you have to squeeze out the water completely from the chena, make sure that it’s not completely dry. The chena should feel soft and moist even after you have squeezed out the water. So don’t press it too hard else it will become dry and resulting rasmalai balls will not be soft. This step is important so do leave little water in the chena so that it feels soft and moist when you mash it. In a heavy bottom pan, boil 500 ml of milk. Soak few strands of saffron in a tablespoon of warm milk and set aside.

Sadly, my first Rasmalai was hard and brown in the center. After trying, tweaking, and making notes, I realized all the lessons from my mistakes that I can safely say my recipe is quite foolproof.While the cheese is baking. Make the milk mixture. My mom uses a combination of condensed milk, evaporated, and whole milk for her rasmalai, but evaporated works well in place of the half and half if you're not a fan of evaporated milk. Add saffron strands to milk mixture and heat just until warm. If available add crushed pistachios or almonds to milk. So now that we know what rasmalai is let’s talk a bit about how you can make them perfectly at home. The biggest problem that people face while making rasmalai at home is that the rasmalai balls often turn out hard whereas they should be totally soft and in fact melt in your mouth – that’s when you know you have made the perfect rasmalai. During my trip to India this time I made it so many times that now I feel confident in sharing these little tips which will make sure that your rasmalais turn out perfectly every time.

This recipe is sort of a shortcut version because it uses ricotta cheese instead of homemade paneer. My mom always used whole milk ricotta in her rasmalai- actually a suggestion from an Indian friend of hers at our temple. The ricotta is seasoned with mostly ground cardamom and sugar. The cheese is baked to remove moisture then soaked in the milk mixture overnight. The milk is a mixture of condensed milk, half and half and whole milk. Although, my mom used evaporated milk in place of half and half. She also baked the cheese in a standard size aluminum foil pan, then cut the cheese into squares. I've decided to use cupcake/muffin pans to bake the cheese so they keep a round shape. I realize you would peep around for formula. Yea, I am introducing a snappy and simple rasmalai formula with milk powder for every one of the individuals who like Pakistani desserts. Continue looking down to see the photos and locate the full formula in Urdu beneath with complete fixings and technique. Point No. 2: Don’t curdle the milk as soon as it comes to a boil. Add 1/2 cup water and wait for 5-10 minutes till the milk temperature comes down a bit. If you curdle the milk when it’s not “super hot”, the resulting chena will be softer.Your milk balls will expand at least double the original size, so make sure you use a wide and large enough cooking pan for the balls to expand and move. Take out the cooled down rasmalai balls from the fresh water bowl. Squeeze and flatten lightly using your hands and put in sugar syrup for around 10-15 minutes [so that they absorb the sugar] before transferring them to milk. Squeeze the balls carefully as they are very soft and can break easily. I like to flatten the rasmalai at this stage rather than flattening them in the beginning. I feel they get cooked evenly in the sugar syrup when the balls are round in shape.
