Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 1 litre for rasgulla : nova milk


  • 1/2 cups curd( or you can use 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, but with yogurt they smell and taste perfect)


  • 1 litre iced cold water


  • 1 cups sugar


  • 2 cups water


  • 1/4 tsp cardamom


  • 1/2 cups for baking the rasgullas: evaporated milk


  • 3 tsp sugar


  • 1 tsp cornflour


  • 1/2 cups cheena/ paneer -crumbled


  • 2 pinch saffron strands


  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder


  • 2-3 tsp pistachios chopped

Directions

  • In a pan bring the milk to a boil. Once it starts boiling pour the yogurt on it. Let the milk curdle. Turn off the heat and leave it for 2 mins.
  • Now add the chilled water to the curdled milk. Leave it aside for 2 to 3 minutes. Filter and collect the cheese in a cheese cloth or muslin cloth. Let the water drain completely. (You can, squeeze it and drain the whey completely or hang it for 30-40 mins)
  • Now knead the cheese well to make into a smooth dough. Take small portions of it and roll to tiny balls. They should be tiny and not big as it will double when boiling in sugar syrup.
  • Add sugar and water to a wide pan and bring to a boil. To the boiling sugar syrup, add cardamom powder. Now add the balls one after the other gently. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10 mins on a medium high flame. Gently stir every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and puffing. They will double in size when done.
  • For baking the Rasgulla: Take the Rasgullas and squeeze off the sugar syrup and add them to a bowl. Add water in the bowl and let it stand in the water for few mins. Take the rasgullas and squeeze the water out completely.
  • Preheat oven for 10 mins @ 180°. Cut the rasgullas into halves and layer then in a baking dish.
  • Take the crumbled paneer, sugar, evaporated milk, saffron strands, cardamon powder and corn flour dissolved in water. Blend them smooth. You can use a mixie or blender.
  • Pour this over the layered Rasgullas and bake for 20 mins.
  • Let it cool down and take them out into a serving bowl/plate, garnish with pistachios a s serve.
