Instructions
Homemade Rasmalai (or use store bought one instead):
-
Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame. Keep stirring the milk continuously.
-
In 10-15 minutes when the milk starts to thicken, add in the condensed milk, cardamom powder and saffron. Adjust the sweetness with condensed milk according to your taste.
-
Boil the milk for 2-3 more minutes and then switch off the gas.
-
Transfer this to a large bowl which is deep enough to dip in the rasgullas.
-
Let it cool down for 10 minutes. The milk should be warm, it should not be cold.
-
Prepare 2 large bowls. In one add ice water and in the other, add your rasgullas with the sugar syrup discarded.
-
Take one rasgulla and wash it with the ice water and lightly squeeze out the sugar syrup. This will make it nice and fluffy. Put it into the bowl containing the milk prepared above. Repeat this with the rest of the rasgullas. Change the ice water when it becomes cloudy.
-
Chill the bowl with the rasmalai (milk and rasgullas) in the fridge for 4-5 hours. Your rasmalai is ready.
Prepare:
-
Prepare the falooda noodles by boiling them in 2 cups water. Drain and set them aside to cool.
