Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Rasgullas.
Step 1
To start your delightful journey of making homemade rasgullas, grab a heavy-bottomed pan and pour in some milk.
Step 2
Heat it gently until it begins to boil and foam up, creating a lovely frothy layer.
Step 3
As soon as you see those bubbles, add in the lime juice and stir it gently.
Step 4
Watch in awe as the milk curdles, with the chenna, or milk solids, separating beautifully from the whey.
Step 5
Next, take a colander and line it with cheesecloth, then pour the curdled milk into it.
Step 6
Rinse the chenna under cold water to wash away the lime juice, and let it drain completely.
Step 7
Once drained, gather the edges of the cheesecloth to form a little pouch and squeeze out as much water as you can.
Step 8
At this point, you’ll have soft, fresh paneer ready for the next step.
Step 9
Now, transfer the paneer onto a clean, smooth surface or a rolling mat.
Step 10
Knead it well until it transforms into a smooth, pliable paste.
Step 11
Divide this mixture into twenty equal portions and roll each one into a perfect little ball, making sure there are no cracks.
Step 12
Now, let’s move on to the sweet syrup! In a pressure cooker, bring some water to a boil and stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely, creating a luscious sugar syrup.
Step 13
Gently drop your paneer balls into this boiling syrup, and then secure the lid on the pressure cooker.
Step 14
Bring it to pressure, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for six minutes.
Step 15
After the time is up, carefully release the pressure by running the cooker under cold water.
Step 16
Once the pressure is released, remove the lid with care.
Step 17
You’ll be greeted by the sight of your rasgullas, now plump and floating in the syrup, looking absolutely irresistible.
Step 18
Pour the rasgullas along with their syrup into a bowl and stir in some ground cardamom for that aromatic touch.
Step 19
Finally, pop the bowl in the refrigerator and let the rasgullas chill completely before serving.
Step 20
Enjoy the sweet, spongy goodness of your homemade rasgullas, a treat that’s sure to impress!.
