For the Cheese Balls

For the Milk Syrup

Method

Preparing the Cheese Balls

  1. 1

    Curdle the Milk

    In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil. Once boiling, add lemon juice and stir until the milk curdles. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain the Curdled Milk

    Line a sieve with cheesecloth and strain the curdled milk. Rinse with cold water to remove the lemon flavor. Gather the cheesecloth and squeeze out excess water.

  3. 3

    Knead the Chena

    Transfer the curds (chena) to a plate and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Shape the Cheese Balls

    Divide the kneaded mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

Making the Milk Syrup

  1. 5

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a large pot, combine water and sugar, bring to a boil, and add cardamom pods. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cook the Cheese Balls

    Gently add the cheese balls to the boiling syrup and cook for 10-12 minutes until they double in size.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Make the Milk Sauce

    In a separate pot, boil 2 cups of milk with sugar and saffron until it thickens slightly. Add cardamom powder.

  2. 8

    Assemble Rasmalai

    Soak the cooked cheese balls in the milk sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
