Royal Rassomalai, 500g

Product Information

Ras malai consists of flattened balls of chhena soaked in malai (a type of clotted cream) flavoured with cardamom. Milk is boiled and a bit of vinegar or lime juice is added to split it. The whey is discarded and the milk solids are drained, cooled and kneaded into a dough. The dough is divided into small balls and the balls are cooked in hot water with a bit of rose water added. The balls are then cooked in milk with saffron, pistachios and kheer as stuffing. [10] Variations [ edit ] Ras malai dessert Boiling & curdling milk correctly will give to the super soft chena. If the chena is not soft then rasmalai will not turn soft but instead will turn hard. Remove the cover and slowly flip them using a spoon. By this time chenna balls will be doubled in size. But remember to use ice cold water or ice cubes to stop the cooking further after the entire milk has curdled. This will give you the soft chena. Faqs Ras malai is believed to have originated somewhere in Eastern Indian subcontinent, specifically in the Bengal region. [5] The Sen brothers of Comilla operating under the Matri Bhandar brand claim to be the original maker of the dessert. On the other hand, K.C. Das Grandsons also claims that it was invented by K.C. Das in Kolkata. [6] [7] Bangladesh has begun the process of registering geographical indication status for Comillar ras malai. [8] [9]

This method will not work if you are using pasteurized & homogenized milk. Infact the milk will not curdle at all unless you continue to boil the milk. Rasgulla Balls: Rasgulla are soft, fluffy, snow-white colored round sweets that are made from curdled milk (chenna or paneer) and soaked in sugar syrup. But making the rasgulla balls from scratch requires a ton of simmering, stirring, draining and kneading. Canned rasgulla balls are top-quality and require one trip to the grocery store. My favorite is Haldiram brand. Some may take up to 6 hours. So do not go by the time go by the texture which I have explained below. These easy recipe allows you to make Rasmalai at home in just 30 minutes - no curdling, draining or kneading required! 1. Squeeze Rasgulla Balls

Another reason could be that the chenna is not kneaded correctly. Further, when boiling the syrup, ensure that you use a tight-fitted lid to cover the pan and that the syrup is boiling well. Why? A tight-fitted glass lid helps trap the required heat and pressure during cooking, and the rasmalai turns out soft and well-puffed. Squeeze the rasgulla with delicate, gentle pressure. You want to squeeze enough sugar syrup out of the ball so that they absorb the milk, but not too much or they will break. Use a gentle, even pressure or citrus juicer for best results.

Next, add chopped nuts (almonds and pistachio) and boil the milk for a few minutes till the nuts become a little bit soft. Strain the curdled milk over a strainer lined with a muslin cloth.

Rasmalai is my favorite Indian sweet by miles. As a kid I wasn’t very fond of sweets but Rasmalai was my absolute favorite. Maybe because it’s so delicious or maybe because we didn’t get to eat it that regularly compared to other sweets. Rasmalai is a royal sweet often served in weddings and eaten on special occasions. I already have a rasmalai recipe on my blog but I thought of making a separate post to talk about how to make perfectly soft rasmalais at home. I hope it will be of some help to the readers.

When the water comes to a boil, and you see bubbles in the water, gently add the rasmalai balls/ dumplings to the syrup. Point No. 6: Use a wide pan to cook the rasmalai balls. The balls double in size so there should be enough space in the pan for them to cook. Don’t overcrowd the pan with too many balls. This ice cold water or ice cubes will keep your chena super soft as it stops further cooking. This method is best if you are using pasteurized or/& homogenized milk. a b Ayto, John (2012). The Diner's Dictionary: Word Origins of Food and Drink. OUP Oxford. p.301. ISBN 978-0-19-964024-9 . Retrieved 22 April 2020. Flavorings: Saffron, rose water, kewra water (pandanus water) and cardamom powder are the classic Indian flavorings included in most sweets. Feel free to skip any one if you don’t have. Instead of rose water and kewra water, add one to two drops of edible rose essence or kewra essence.

Add lemon juice till the milk curdles completely. Using a strainer drain the water and collect the chena. Rinse it under tap water so that there’s no trace of lemon juice in it. Leave it in the strainer for 10-15 minutes and then take the chena in your hand and squeeze out remaining water slowly. Overcooking will also cause the balls to break. Make sure to only simmer for 2 minutes as soon as you add the rasgulla balls at the end. Allowing the rasmalai mixture to rest for 10 minutes after cooking further allows the rasgulla to absorb the sweet cream. Chill in the fridge or freeze for longer storage. The rasmalai will need at least 4 hours to chill in the fridge before serving and will keep for up to 1 week stored in the refrigerator. It will also keep for up to 1 month in the freezer. Using low-fat alternatives can compromise the texture, resulting in the hard and crumbly rasmalai instead of the desired soft and creamy dessert. The luscious and decadent quality of the dessert is achieved by the richness of full-fat milk, which is the integral part. Rasmalai taste best when chilled overnight. Also the balls soak the milk and all flavored get intermixed well in 8-10 hours. So to serve the next day, make them a day in advance.Michael Krondl (2011). Sweet Invention: A History of Dessert.

Method 1– Using homogenized &/or pasteurized milk: This first method is to curdle the milk immediately after the milk comes to a boil whilst milk is still on the stove. Tie the muslin cloth and keep a heavy object over it to remove any excess water for about 1hour minutes. Saffron: A high-quality saffron makes all the difference. Typically saffron needs to be bloomed to bring out its flavor before adding to any recipe, but adding it to the hot milk mix does all the work for us.
