rasmalairasmalai recipe | easy rasmalai recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. in essence rasmalai literally means juicy milk cream. this is prepared very similar to but served with thick creamed milk flavoured with kesar. also, it is topped with choice of dry fruits including pista, kaju and badam before serving.

while i am not a big fan of sweet dessert recipes. but my husband has always been a big admire of indian dessert recipes. perhaps he developed this taste for creamy based sweets during his stay in west bengal. as a matter of fact, he is so much addicted to sweets that he needs a dessert shot immediately after meal. rasmali is one such dessert which we prepare quite often. more importantly, the biggest advantage of this recipe is it lasts long for weeks if stored in fridge. also, the paneer balls can either be served as rasgulla if served with sugar syrup. and as rasmalai if served with milk cream.

furthermore, i would like to share few tips and tricks for a perfect rasmali recipe. firstly, always and always use fresh full cream cows milk for better result. buffalo milk differs from cows milk in richness and composition and also high in calories. secondly, while forming paneer balls, make sure you do not have any cracks in it. otherwise, the paneer balls would dissolve in sugar syrup while boiling. lastly, knead the paneer or chenna properly till it forms dough and no granules are seen. do not over knead as chenna will start releasing oil, resulting hard rasmalai.

finally, i would request you to check my other indian sweet recipec collection. particularly, gulab jamin, moong dal halwa, mysore pak, kaju pista roll and motichoor ladoo recipe. in addition, do visit my other indian recipes collection like,
