Ingredients

  • 18 to 20 Rasgullas Homemade or store-bought can. Homemade Rasgulla link is given below
  • 4 cups Whole milk
  • 4 tablespoon Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 8 strands Saffron (Kesar)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Almonds , chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Pistachios , chopped

Instructions

STEP I

  • Follow the same steps until RASGULLA are cooked in the pressure cooker.
  • Once they are done, remove each  RASGULLA from sugar syrup and lightly squeeze them between your palms to remove sugar syrup and set it aside.
    18 to 20 Rasgullas

STEP II  (Prepare Rabri Or Rabdi Or Sweetened Flavored Milk)

  • Add milk in a heavy bottomed pan and bring it to boil on medium flame.
    4 cups Whole milk
  • When you see the foam in the milk, add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron threads and keep stirring it till the milk mixture is reduced to half (approximately 2 cups).
    4 tablespoon Sugar, ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder, 8 strands Saffron
  • Make sure you keep stirring it continuously during the process to avoid it from burning at the bottom. Switch off the flame.
  • Now, add squeezed rasgullas to this mixture and allow it to cool down.
  • I prefer to refrigerate it for couple of hours or overnight because this dessert tastes the best when served chilled.
  • Rasmalai is ready. Garnish it with chopped almonds, pistachios and some more saffron strands if required.
    1 ½ tablespoon Almonds, 1 ½ tablespoon Pistachios

Notes

  • Vary the amount of sugar and garnish as per your taste.
  • This dessert will remain fresh when kept in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
