Ras Malai
Ras Malai is a popular Indian dessert made from cheese dumplings soaked in sweetened, thickened milk and flavored with cardamom, saffron, and nuts. It’s a delicious and creamy treat that is often served chilled.
Ingredients
Method
- In a large pan, bring the milk to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the lemon juice. Stir gently until the milk curdles and the whey separates. Turn off the heat.
- Line a strainer with a muslin cloth and strain the curdled milk. Rinse the cheese under cold water to remove the lemon flavor.
- Squeeze out excess water from the cheese and knead it until smooth. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape them into small balls.
- In a separate pot, combine the sugar and water and bring it to a boil. Add the cheese balls and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they double in size.
- Remove the cheese balls from the sugar syrup and gently squeeze out excess syrup.
- In a separate pan, heat the milk and add cardamom powder, saffron strands, and chopped nuts.
- Add the cooked cheese balls to the milk mixture and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Refrigerate the Ras Malai for a few hours before serving.
- Enjoy!
