Quick-Fix Rasmalai

Rasmalai is one of the Indian sweets I really love. This is a quick-fix recipe and it gets made in less than 30 mins.





You need:

  • 1 tin readymade rasgullas
  • 750 ml full fat milk
  • 3 tsp Everest Milk Masala
  • A big pinch safforn
  • 6 tbsp Sugar - add more if required (I personally don't like my desserts too sweet)
  • Slivered Almonds and Pistachios for decoration





Steps:

  • In a thick bottom pan bring the milk to a boil.
  • Add required sugar and the milk masala powder and let it boil for 15 mins on a low flame.
  • Squeeze the excess syrup out of the rasgullas and arrange them in your serving bowl.
  • Add the crushed saffron to the milk after taking it off the heat.
  • Let it cool for a while and then pour it over the rasgullas while still slightly warm.
  • Decorate with slivered almonds and pistachios.
  • After it cools, refrigerate for a few hours.
  • Serve chilled.






Notes:

  • I used Haldiram's 1kg tin which had 14 rasgullas in them.
  • In case you don't have the Everest Milk Masala, you can powder almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios (after toasting them slightly) with cardamom seeds and a bit of saffron to make about 3 tsp of powder.

  3. I din't have enough time to cook an elaborate dessert for my guests today...and this recipe came to my rescue.. i added 1/4 cup of condensed milk instead of sugar..and kinda removed the rasgullas from the tinned syrup, added equal hot water so as to make the rasgullas soft..and followed rest of your recipe exactly.. too good...!! loved the rasmalai!! Thanks..!!
