Celebrate the occasion with delicious Rasmalai - recipe by Anindita Khan

Rasmalai is a very popular Indian desert prepared with famous bengali sweet -Rasgulla.

It is actually rasgulla soaked in rich saffron flavored creamy milk. As our most awaited Durga Puja is nearing, I wanted to post something special for all my friends.

So here is the recipe of Baked  Rasmalai, a customized version of a very popular dessert.

  

Ingredients :

-------------

Main ingredient of Rasmalai is Rasgulla.

This Rasgulla can be prepared at home or

we can buy it readymade.

Since during Puja we all want to spend

less time at kitchen, let s prepare

Rasmalai at home with readymade Rasgulla.

Milk - 1 liter

Sugar - 1/3 cup or As per your taste

Rasgulla - 10 pieces

Ghee - 1 tbsp

Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp

Saffron -7-8 strands

Pistachio -chopped - 2-3 tbsp

Almonds (blanched and thinly sliced/slivered) -2-3 tbsp

Steps :

-------

Soak the saffron in a tbsp of milk.

squeeze the rasgullas gently to take out the extra sugar syrup. Take a non stick pan and place it on a low flame.

Pour 1 tbsp of ghee on the pan. When the ghee is little heated , place the squeezed Rasgullas in it and fry them till the Rasgullas get a light brown color. Switch off the flame.

To make the saffron flavored milk (Malai), bring the milk to  boil in a deep, thick-bottomed non-stick pan . Keep the flame medium low and cook, stir, till it reduces to three-fourth of its original volume. Scrape off the cream that will collect on the sides.

Add sugar, cardamom powder and the soaked saffron .Mix them well until the sugar dissolves. Switch off the flame.

Add some almonds and pistachio and mix them well. Now take the fried rasgullas ,drop them into the creamy milk and cool it for some time.

Serve this Rasmalai with baked Rasgullas  garnished with more almonds and pistachio
