Rasmalai is a popular Indian dessert made using cottage cheese balls, milk, sugar, nuts, cardamom and saffron. It is quick to make when your homemade rasgullas are ready. Sweet and juicy rasgullas soaked in sweetened thick milk is super addictive and can be made at home easily. Learn to make delicious rasmalai at home with step by step pictures.
Take a pan - add condensed milk to it, along with 1 cup milk and whisk it well. Now add remaining milk and let it boil in medium flame for 5 minutes. Keep stirring. Crush saffron strands and add it. The color of milk will change to slightly yellow color, after saffron is added. Let it boil until thick at least for 15 minutes.
Then add chopped nuts, cardamom powder give a quick mix and let it boil. Now take your rasgullas. I used store bought rasgullas this time.
Take lemon squeezer and squeeze the excess sugar syrup from the rasgullas. Be gentle else the rasgullas will crumble. Now add the rasgullas to the milk and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes in low flame. Switch off.
Cool down for few mins, then refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve chilled!
