Rasgulla

Rasgulla- one of the most popular Indian sweets. They are made out of Chenna (Cottage Cheese) and sugar syrup.

Ingredients:

Milk, low fat 4 cups

Vinegar or Lemon Juice 1-2 tsp

Water 4 cups

Sugar 2 cups

Saffron Strands few

Maida or cornflour 1 tsp

Sugar 3 tbsp

Water 1 tbsp

Bring the milk to boil and add lime juice or vinegar diluted in water.
Once the milk curdles, turn off the stove and leave it for 2 mins.
Add ice cubes to the curdled milk and leave it for 2-3 mins.
Filter and collect the chenna in a muslin cloth.
Tie the mixture and hang it up for 40 mins to remove excess water and whey.
Add Maida to hung chenna and knead well to make soft dough.
Divide the dough into 18 equal portions, roll the dough into small balls, and keep aside.
Meanwhile, add sugar and water to a wide pan and bring it to boil.
Once the syrup is ready, add chenna balls to it.
Cover it with a lid and cook for 10 mins on medium flame. They double in size when they are done.
Allow Rasgulla to rest and cool completely.
Garnish with saffron strands and refrigerate Rasgulla until served.
