Rasmalai Recipe with step by step pictures

Last updated November 8, 2014. Originally posted November 7, 2014 By Jyothi Rajesh 3 Comments

Rasmalai is a famous Bengali sweet made from rasagullas. Rasagullas are made from paneer(Indian cottage cheese), paneer is cooked in sugar syrup to give soft and spongy rasagullas. ‘Rasmalai’ translates to ras means juice and malai means cream. Rasmalai is basically rasagulla’s served with saffron flavoured creamy milk. I made these rasmalai all from scratch. I first made rasagullas and then the rasmalai from rasgullas. I will post rasagullas recipe very soon.

So the reason behind making this famous Bengali sweet is to virtually treat all the new followers of currytrail. Thank you for your support and keep visiting CT.

3. In a non stick pan add milk and bring it to boil. It’s better to use non stick so the milk doesn’t get burnt at the bottom in non stick. Once milk starts boiling reduce flame to medium and continue to boil till milk reduces to ¼ cup(that is reduced more than half of it’s original quantity). Make sure to stir at regular intervals and to scrap off the sides of the pan(this will prevent the milk from burning) and remember the flame to be medium or law through out the process.

5. Now add chopped nuts(pistachios and almonds) and mix well.

8. Now remove the rasagullas from sugar syrup and gently press the rasagullas between 2 ladles to squeeze out the sugar syrup from it.

9. Place the rasagullas in the saffron infused milk.

10. The heavenly, soft, spongy, creamy rasmalai is ready to be served. Rasmalai tastes best when served chilled. So you can refrigerate it and then serve.

11. Enjoy!

Welcome, I'm Jyothi

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
