But yes.. Was never into making one until I discovered the quick and easy way to make this one :)
Yes, I have made rasgullas at home in the past for my toddler but not Rasmalai. So this time I tried to cheat a little and make Rasmalai at home in just 15-20 mins...! So here it goes.. my first dessert post on this blog. And since its homemade I did not mind even when my son ate 3-4 at a time.
Ingredients :
1 litre Milk
3/4 cup sugar
Cardamom powder
Saffron
Yellow food colour ( optional )
One pack of store bought rasgullas
Finely chopped almonds n pista
Method :
Heat the 1 litre milk by adding 3/4 cup sugar and keep stirring it continuously till its half its original quantity. This might take around 15 mins. And while its boiling, remove approx 2 tbsp of warm milk in a small bowl and add 5-6 saffron strands in it. Now squeeze the sugar syrup from all the rasgullas. Again remove some more milk in another vessel to soak all these rasgullas. You will notice that once soaked, the squeezed rasgullas will return to their original size n shape.
Now add the cardamom powder in the boiling milk. Once the milk becomes half the quantity, add the saffron soaked milk in it to get the colour. At this point u can also add the food colour to get the store bought look. I avoided since wanted to keep it healthy for my kiddo.
Pour this milk onto the soaked rasgullas mix. Garnish with almonds, pistachios and saffron.
Allow it to cool a little and then refrigerate it for at least an hour.
Tada... It's ready...! Below is the one I made last week which vanished away in a day..!
Try this out n let me know how did it turn out. I'm gonna make another batch this weekend :)
Awaiting for your sweet feedback.
