Rasmalai is a timeless and traditional Indian dessert that has been one of the most popular sweet dishes in the country for centuries. Here is a simple and easy angoori rasmalai recipe!

Ingredients

2 litres of milk ⅓ cup of condensed milk 1 tablespoon of lemon juice ½  cup sugar 4 cardamom pods Flaked almonds, for garnish Flaked pistachios, for garnish Waer as needed

Step 1

Prepare the chenna. Heat a litre of milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Pour the lemon juice. Stir the milk. Turn off the heat. The milk will begin to curdle. Strain the chenna.

Step 3

Let it rest in the strainer for an hour. The chenna will separate from whey. Place chenna in a mixing bowl. Knead it. Roll into small grape-sized balls.

Step 4

Boil 3 cups of water and ½ cup sugar. Add the cardamoms to it. Once the syrup comes to a boil, add the chenna balls. Cover with a lid.

Step 5

Let it cook for 10-15 minutes on low heat. Remove balls from the syrup. Boil the remaining milk. Add the condensed milk and simmer. Stir.

Step 6

Add the chenna balls. Crush the cardamom pods and add them as well. Simmer and stir. Serve.
