Rasmalai ( An Indian milk sweet)

Another diwali treat for the sweet tooth! :)

Ingredients (Makes 5 pieces)
Note: Will be using rasgulla for this sweet. See the recipe for rasgulla here

Rasgulla: 5
Milk: 2 Cup
Sugar : 1/2 Cup
Cardomom Powder: 1/4 Tea Spoon
Saffron: 1 - 2 Strands
Badam(Almond)/Pistachios: For Garnish

Cooking Time: 40 to 45 minutes
Method

Pour the milk to a pan and allow it to boil well
Once it boils reduce the flame and stir continuously for about 20 to 25 minutes
Add sugar, Cardamom powder and saffron and keep stirring for about 15 more minutes
Strain out excess sugar syrup from the rasgullas using a spoon by gently squeezing it

Add the rasgullas to the milk mixture and keep in flame for about 6 to 8 minutes
Keep for cooling
Garnish with chopped badam and pistachios and serve cold

Note

You can use the sugar syrup of rasgulla instead of adding sugar to the milk
Increase or decrease the sugar/sugar syrup as per the sweetness required
When squeezing off the excess sugar syrup from the rasgulla use a flat spoon so that the rasgullas also will be flattened in shape
