    Easy rasmalai recipe, Instant rasmalai with readymade rasgulla. Learn how to make easy rasmalai with quick video, step by step pictures recipe.

    easy rasmalai

    I learnt this recipe from my sister-in-law,she made this for us when we visited her house for the first time...

    When I came newly to Singapore,I don't even know the ABCs of cooking. And when we stayed at her place for few days, I got impressed by her style of cooking and the ease with which she does.

    She never complicates anything and always keeps her cool how much ever work load she has! I have learnt so many easy yet yummy recipes from her.

    My apple custard post is the one I learnt from her. So this is also such recipe, you can make it to impress your guests!

    Still I have not tried making rasgullas at home, so I used the instant,ready made rasgullas and made this rasmalai. Haldiram’s works the best,though I used another one this time…
    This is very special post for me,3 rd blog Anniversary! 🎉

    Course Dessert
    Cuisine Indian
    Prep Time 5 minutes
    Cook Time 25 minutes
    Servings 8
    Cup measurements

    Ingredients

    • 8  Rasgulla
    • 2 & ½ cups Milk
    • ¼ cup Evaporated filled milk
    • ¼ cup Sugar
    • Saffron - A pinch
    • 8 Cashew nuts
    • 1 Cardamom powdered
    • 8 Pistachios
    • 1 teaspoon Ghee
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • First start heating milk in a heavy bottomed vessel, grease the bottom of the pan with few drops of ghee.(this is to prevent burning  of milk at the bottom). Take 2 tablespoons of warm milk and keep saffron soaked till needed.
    • Boil milk for 20-30 minutes in very low flame. Keep stirring now and then.
    • When the volume reduces almost half,add the saffron soaked in the milk,evaporated filled milk and boil for 2 more minutes.
    • Chop the nuts and fry it in ghee till golden brown and add it to the milk too,add the sugar and simmer for few minutes. (Is this is called rabri/rabdi)?.
    • Squeeze the sugar syrup from the rasgullas,take care you don't squeeze the rasgullas hardly(this will make the rasgulla break),just squeeze it gently.
    • Add it to the milk when it is still hot. Let it get soaked. After cooled down,refrigerate and serve cold.

    Video

    Notes

    • Do not add more than the mentioned evaporated milk as it will turn the rabri look ugly in colour.
    • Also too much of saffron will spoil the taste,make sure you add just a few strands.
    • Keep refrigerated and tastes best when served cold….
    • If the rasmalai turns too thick, later you can add little milk to dilute it.
