Instructions
 

  • Start by making the chhena (curd cheese) for the Roshogolla. Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat and add lemon juice gradually until the milk curdles. Stir gently until the whey separates from the curd.
  • Strain the curdled milk using a muslin cloth or cheesecloth. Rinse the chhena under cold water to remove any lemony flavor.
  • Gather the cloth and squeeze out excess water from the chhena. Knead the chhena until it becomes smooth and soft. Divide it into small equal-sized balls and set aside.
  • In a separate pot, combine the water, grated date palm jaggery, and cardamom pods (if using). Bring to a boil and let the jaggery dissolve completely to form a syrup.
  • Carefully drop the chhena balls into the boiling syrup. Cover and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes on medium heat. The balls will expand in size as they cook.
  • Once the Roshogollas are cooked, let them cool down in the syrup. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
  • Serve the Roshogolla in date palm jaggery syrup chilled, garnished with some crushed pistachios or saffron strands for an extra touch of elegance.
  • Enjoy!
