Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces yogurt
1 teaspoon flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 quart water
1 lb sugar
1 teaspoon rose water

Steps:

  • Bring milk to boil and add salt. Remove from heat and add yogurt into it. Stir gently until all the milk curdles. Strain the curdled milk in a thin muslin cloth. Squeeze gently until all the liquid is gone. You now have paneer.
  • Put the paneer in a large bowl and knead with the palms of your hand until it becomes smooth and soft.
  • Add the flour and bicarbonate of soda and knead a few more minutes. Roll and shape into small balls, the size of a ping-pong ball.
  • Dissolve the sugar in the water over gentle heat. Set aside half the syrup.
  • Bring the other half to boil and gently slip in the balls of paneer. Simmer for 10 minutes and then raise the heat, adding a little water to thin the syrup if necessary. The rasgullas are done when the float to the surface.
  • Drain and put them in the syrup that was set aside.
  • Sprinkle with rose water.
  • Serve cold.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute something else for the almonds?

Rasgullas came out a bit dense, not as soft and spongy as I expected. Not sure what went wrong.

Loved the texture of the rasgullas, but the syrup was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll use less sugar.

Rasgullas turned out so soft and spongy. The syrup was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too bland. Followed the recipe exactly and it came out great. Definitely a keeper!
