Nothing beats cold, slightly sweet and slightly rose scented Rasmalai on a unnecessarily stressful day at work...
Rasmalai is traditional cottage cheese, served cold in rose scented, sweetened fresh milk flavored with cardamom and saffron and almond and sometimes crushed pistachios and cashew... But I like to experiment in the kitchen and explore the Shortcuts...
Let's Make Rasmalai!
The balls (paneer)
1 cup full cream milk powder
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ghee/oil (to help the dough not sticking to your fingers)
The sweetened rose scented cardamom flavored almond milk
1 litre full cream / fresh milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 crushed cardamom
1 tbsp chopped almond
A dash of salt
Method:
Bring milk to boil on low heat. Add sugar, cardamom, salt and stir. Add almond.
Mix paneer ingredients. Shape into small fingertips sized balls. Oil hands while shaping dough.
Slowly drop balls into milk and cook till done. Balls will increase in size. Cook for 10 minutes and let cool.
Add rose water and chill.
