Rasgulla is a popular sweet from East India, especially West Bengal, that is widely savoured in all parts of the country. If you’ve been craving this mishti for a long time, here is an easy recipe to try!
1 tsp refined flour 1 litre of milk 1 cup of sugar 1 lemon 1-3 cardamoms 4 cups of water
Pour a litre of milk into a deep pan and bring to a soft boil. Squeeze the lemon in it to promote the curdling of solids.
Stir the concoction before turning off the flame. When the milk starts curdling, turn off the heat. Cool it off for 10-15 minutes.
Lay a clean muslin cloth over a pan and pour the milk solids and liquid on it. Strain the residue.
Wash the solids with fresh water to get rid of the sourness from the lemon juice. Mix the solids on a surface with all-purpose flour.
Keep kneading the ingredients until you have a binding mixture. Make small balls with this dough. Prepare sugar syrup.
Add cardamom pods and slowly fold in chhena balls into the sugar syrup and cover with a lid for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and let the chhena cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the chhena balls cool off. Serve!
