RASMALAI Recipe
Indian Sweets Recipe by Padma


 50 Minutes  8 to 10 Persons

  INGREDIENTS
For fresh Paneer:
1 gallon whole milk
Juice of 1 lemon (4tbsp) Vinegar
Muslin cloth


For Rasmalai:
Fresh Paneer
21\2 cups sugar
5 cups water
10 pistachios powdered
1\2 tsp cardamom powder

  METHOD
To make Paneer:

1. Boil milk gently and keep stirring in between so that the bottom     does not stick. When it starts boiling, add 4tp vinegar so that it     curdles. After 20 seconds remove from flame and keep it aside     covered for 2 min.

2. Now strain the curdled milk in the cloth. Tie the mouth of the cloth     and hang it for atleast 3 hrs so that all the water drains off. Press     the cloth so that the remaining water also drains. Use this paneer     to make rasmalai.


To make Rasmalai:

1. Take the paneer and make into a soft smooth dough in a food     processor. It should be fluffy and not solid. Make small balls from     it. Heat water and add 2 cups sugar.

2. Once the sugar melts, add these paneer balls and cook for 20     min covered till the balls become fluffy. In a flat bottomed pan add     half and half and bring it to boil. Add cardamom powder, pistachio     powder, 2 tbsp sugar and boil for 2 min.

3. Drain the balls from sugar water and gently add to the boiling     milk. Let them cook for 10 min on low flame. Remove from heat,     chill them for 3 to 4 hrs and serve.

Comments:   In the US, you can buy ricotta cheese in any grocery to use instead of making paneer. It has a nice light fluffy texture. (Do not use cottage cheese, it is wet and lumpy.)

Comments:   I tried it and it came very will, there is no need to add any maida or anything extra, all the water has to be drained that's all. I did not use a food processor, it was still good. Overall Great recipe. Thanks If u have any other Vegetarian recipes let me know

Comments:   hi all, this rasmalai will taste superb. do the rasmalai as per the instructions,instead of putting directly in to milk,boil the milk & until it becomes half,so that it´ ll be very tasty,the malai will form over the milk. so along with the paneer,this milk´ s malai will also add extra taste. hope u all will try this.
